I need a carburetor for my 55 Plymouth 230 straight 6. It has a 2248S on it now and I can get a 2261S for less than half price. My question is, will they interchange. Thanks for any information you can give.

You would need a manufacturers interchange book for this info, but remember even though the carbs may look the same, flow rates and jetting may be different. I have one, give a me few days to get the info. Std and auto are different also.

The I' book, only shows interchange for year and engine not the carb numbers, let me know what else I can do.
