49 Cadillac carburetors problem

[Jan Egil]

Does anyone have a detailed drawing of carburetors for a 1949 Cadillac?

Need pictures over how to mount it, is something that is not right in the small chamber at the top of the carburetor

I have a service manual for it with photos.  However, it is not in electronic form.  I would have to photocopy it and send it to you by postal mail.  Send my your postal address at jaysfriedman@yahoo.com and I'll mail you a copy. 

Also, if you sent me a photo showing your problem in the small chamber at the top of the carburetor I may be able to explain what needs to be done.  To do this, I would need to know if your carburetor is an "early" or "late" 1949 type, as the parts under the cover of the small chamber of the 2 types are different.  Held on to one of the screws which attach the top part of the carburetor there should have been a small triangular brass plate with a number on it.  This number should be 682 if it is an early carburetor and 722 if it is a late type.  Let me know which number it is (if your carburetor still has the brass plate).

The carburetor is 722S

Jan,

That's good as the 722S is easier to deal with.  I received your email and will reply later today.  I can see in the photos that the spring that holds the metering rods is not installed.
