wrong website for a Dodge but close enough. my buddy has a 1959 Dodge d100 with a 318 with a 2 barrel carburetor. we were curious whether or not a Holley two barrel carburetor would fit on his truck? any help would be really appreciated thank you

Not without an adapter. Why mess with something that works for a "one size fits none" substitute?

Dodge would have used either a Stromberg type WW or a Carter BBD in this time period on the 318.

The WW is an excellent carburetor, one of the very best two-barrels ever made at any price, any time, or anywhere!

While the BBD is not the best carburetor Carter ever built, it would still be superior to a Holley 2300 running through an adapter.

And in the 1970's, Holley did make a "price leader" type 2210 that MIGHT fit but like the BBD, not the best carburetor from this manufacturer.
