My '67 VIP has a smog-era 400 in it with a Stromberg 2bbl. I rebuilt it and got the choke working. Car starts on the button and runs fantastic. The ONLY exception is WOT from a dig. The car dies when you floor it. Immediately I'm thinking that the accelerator pump isn't working or the squirters are clogged.
Then I found a post in this thread:
Stromberg Carb Swap
With this:
And I'm wondering if I just have the wrong accelerator pump assembly in my carb.
Mine is technically a Stromberg WWC 3-276. This is the kit I got, which specifically lists the 3-276 model number:
Stromberg WWC Carburetor Rebuild Kit (4090A) - Dodge 1960-67, Desoto 1961
However that carb number is listed for the following applications:
Chrysler (8) 1961-67 361", 383"
Desoto (8) 1961 361"
Dodge (8) 1960-67 361", 383"
Plymouth (8) 1965-67 361", 383"
Not sure what it's doing on a 73-78 400 engine.
Any way to determine which one I need? Or could it be something else entirely?
