Thread: Carter 2x4

    Carter 2x4

    OK, I have a rough set of 2x4s. The rods are bent and the jets are missing. I am going through my carter stuff, but the numbers aren't working.
    Front 3645S
    Metering rod 16-286
    Primary jet 120-256looks like about .092
    Secondary jet 120-222 looks like about .112

    Rear 3925S
    Metering rod 16-219 seems to have steps about .069 and .063
    Primary jet 120-256 looks like about .092
    Secondary jet 120-222 looks like about .112

    Can anyone tell me what the jet sizes are supposed to be and the metering rod steps, or what is considered suitable replacement numbers would be?

    It's looking like the secondaries may get away with a 120-410 which is .110 and a 16-98 metering rod which is stepped at .068 and .0555



    Thanks

    Bob, I had these notes on file:

    shop manual calls for the following:
    Rear Carb -
    Carb number: 3646S
    Primary Jet: 120-256 0.092"
    Secondary Jet: 120-222 0.070"
    Metering Rod: 16-219

    Front Carb:
    Carb number: 3645S
    Primary Jet: 120-256 0.092"
    Secondary Jet: 120-222 0.070"
    Metering Rod: 16-268*
    *'64 Buick service manual incorrectly lists the metering rods for the 3645 as 16-268.

    Metering rods (Carter called them step-up rods)
    16-286 (front 2x4) ................... .0675 X .055
    16-219 (401 and rear 2x4)....... .0685 X .063

    There is a '65 shop manual online over at www.65gs.com
    It's in the 'Electronic Garage'
    Walt
    65-66 GS's
