Carter BBD 2-BBL Carburetor 2274S Rebuilt 1955 Plymouth V8 PowerFlite Ball & Ball Mopar
Description:
Rebuilt Carter BBD two-barrel downdraft carburetor for the 1955 Plymouth V8. Bowl is cast "Ball & Ball Carburetor Mfd. for Chrysler Corp., Detroit, Mich." on one side and "Mfd. by Carter Carburetor Corp., St. Louis, U.S.A." on the other, with casting number 0-962 and patent numbers including 2,421,733. Fitted with the Carter Climatic Control automatic choke and its original cover marked "Lean" with arrow.
Comes in the original American Carburetor Inc. (ACI) rebuilt box with APRA member logo. Box label reads "PL-17 … Plymouth … PowerFlite … Carter," with Adco #PC-44 and a handwritten Carter number partly torn away, reading "2_74-S" — consistent with Carter 2274S. Base gasket included.
Condition: Clean rebuilt finish. Throttle shaft and both throttle plates look good. Brass fuel inlet fitting, idle mixture screws, throttle linkage, fast-idle cam and choke rod all present. Some surface oxidation on linkage pieces and light storage wear on the casting. Box is worn, torn and faded. Original Carter ID tag is not present. Not bench-tested; sold as shown.
Original application: 1955 Plymouth P27 V8 — Belvedere, Savoy, Plaza and Suburban.
May also fit (verify by carb number): Other 1955–56 Plymouth V8s using the early small-base BBD. Carter numbers in the same family include 2141S, 2154S, 2155S, 2259S, 2260S, 2261S, 2262S, 2274S, 2299S, 2300S and 2301S. Jetting, choke and linkage vary by engine and transmission, so please match your carburetor number for a correct swap.
