Ok guys. I have a one barrel carb complex here????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have no idea how I have missed this over the 5 yrs I've had this motor. I have never had an air cleaner on this carb. I went to put an air cleaner on it today and realized that there is nowhere to put a center stud for holding the air cleaner on. Everything I have for air cleaners requires a center stud to hold it down. It is not made for one. It appears that there are two holes on top, one on each side of barrel. I looked in my LMC book and online a little but I did not find any kind of adapter for this particular application. Can some help me? And give me some idea of what it is exactly it is that I need and where I can find it? Here's some pics of the carb.......

Those two highest threaded holes that you mentioned are where there should be a bracket to mount the air cleaner. It is #39 in this exploded view:

The carb is original to this engine so I think I'm going to keep it that way. Besides this engine with carb runs absolutely perfect. Like it had just come off the dealers lot.

If you know where I might be able to buy these prts new that would be a big help. I have had no luck finding the bracket.

The air cleaner I have presses down around the top rim of the carb, and lid bolts down to it. Not original, but it works. Not a very good pic, but you'll get the idea.

Glad to hear you found what you were after. That is similar to the original part required to secure the air cleaner to the carb, via the center with a piece of all-thread.
