1937-1940 Carter w-1
1941-1948 Carter w-i
If you had one each of these laying side by side
how can you tell the difference.
Thanks now for any help you can give

thanks for reply
I am a new guy and thought I would be ignored.
Just insecure i guess but goes to show how good this forum is.
Now to the point I have a Carter YF I cant identify. the bowl is not cast is has x2207
the base is cast and has a 1-830 on it.
I have looked several times and it could possibly be 1-630 but I think it is 1-830
It is not marked the same way as a W-1 with
a recessed # in the cast bowl.
So I could use help on identifing this YF carb.
Now to the original problem on the difference between a 37-40 and a 41-48 W1 with the same cast # on it is what I needed to know.
I found that answer the 37-40 is not vented . the 41-48 is vented with a accelerator rod running upward.
The 49 and up have an additional rod running upward for the choke.
This is what it took me all day to find out.
Now I am ready to see if the experienced agree or not.
And Oly I need identy on the YF
Thanks

For others I'll need better numbers, better books or a better memory(LOL).
Dusty, your #421 is for a 41-42 chevy.
Loebig, your YF as I recall was on 50-up Nash and 50- Willys. Make that a 99% 50-up Willys. The casting number has to be 630. Seen to many to forget- I'm just slow.
I cann't locate a w1-396, Dusty, Sorry.
Loebig, if you are refering to the "Anti-percolating Unit", then you are correct.
OK, I'll bite.-- HOW are you, Loebig, a new guy, when you are Member #903 and have 32 posts?-- Inquiring minds would like to know-- MINE.(LOL)

I do mostly watching and haven't had to ask any questions. The knowledge on this board is terrific. I have increased my knowledge by listening closely. My previous knowledge is
working in a salvage yard in the early 60's.
As an example in the 60's as far as the 1948-
1954 chevy trucks are concerned I would take
the parts off for the customer when they came in.
The heaviest hitters on these trucks for wanted
parts were in order. 3 speed transmission.inside door handles,starters,generators. I think the
starters related to the cold winters in Minn.
So my truck has a 4 speed 12 volt alternator.
I never had a call for a 4 speed trans. they
are one tough unit.
thanks again
