    Which Carb is that?

    Hi All,

    The carby on the 186 for my new project - is totally stuffed. Not being a holden carby expert (actually, not being a carby expert full stop) - I can't identify it.

    Here it is - sitting on the manifold:




    Here it is off the car:




    So the first question is - what make/model of carby is it?

    Second question is - any ideas where to pickup a replacement unit. This one is completely seized/rusted/beyond help!

    Cheers to all the Holden/Carby experts!

    Thumbs up

    Hi, its a WW Stromberg two barrel carby, most commonly fitted to the 253 v8 red motor also fitted to HR 186S motor and HK,T,G 186S engines. If you can get it reconditioned do it coz they are getting very hard to find nowadays complete and in reasonable condition. There are minor differences in linkages and return spring locations between V8 and 6 cyl carbys but basically they are the same. Hope you have the original air cleaner housing as well as these are RARE. Hope this helps.

    Cheers Rod

    The only issue with any Stromberg is that in standard form they don't enjoy going up or down hills. So if you are looking at doing some off road work and want to climb some hills, then I would suggest changing to a 34ADM webber or even a 6 cylinder landy carby. This is my experience, so for the cost of a rebuild of the carby you could get something more suited, or you could get it rebuilt and sell it cause old holden people want these carbys.

    Just a note - the carby shown in the photos is beyond repair unfortunately. I've never seen a more rotted mess of a carby than this one, hence the need for a replacement. At a pinch, a standard single barrel carby and manifold would be the easiest and cheapest way of getting the engine going IMO.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
