Wgd Carbs

TOM-WA-

I noticed that my Hudson lists 2 WGD Carb's ..one fo the 8 and one for the 6 engine......wondering if these are interchangable or completely different Carter Carbs.......they look similar



8 CYL wgd 773-s

6 cyl wgs 776-s









THANKS,

Tom, According to a Carter spec. sheet the only difference is the metering rods. The 773 S (8) calls for a 75-724 and the (6) 776 S calls for a 75-754. Another book I have shows the specs. for these metering rods and they are so close to being the same that you probably would't notice the difference. The parts sheet lists 2 different accelerator pump numbers. I don't know what the difference would be. The sheet shows some minor differences in the adjustments on the carbs. Norm
