Help Identifing a Dominator Carb (pics added)

Post  wvmudder on Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:23 pm

When I bought this carb I was told it was an 1150. The guy used it on around a 500 ci BBC pulling truck.

It has no number stamped on the side where the list, model, etc. is supposed to be stamped. Is there any other places I may be able to find a number so I know what this carb is?

I looked at it briefly again last night and still didn't find any number on it. I will try to get a couple pics and post them up tomorrow if I don't find any numbers.

Thanks for any help,
Dave S.

Forgot to add, I measured the bottom of the veturi(sp?) with an el cheapo caliper and it measured app 1.9905. If that helps.

i'm not sure but i think the size of the throttle "blades"[on dominator's]are all the same.the size up inside the body is where it's at.pic's would help but it should have #'s on the top too.

If it's an 1150, you'd know! My 1150 dommie is huge compared to the old 850dp that was on the old motor. Post a pic and someone should be able to tell you what you got.

Sorry guys, pics will have to be tomorrow, I came to work and left my camera at home, I don't function well of a morning thanks to shift work.

I do know it is a Dominator, just not sure which one.

I did find some numbers that I wrote down.

On the edge of the base flange: 12R-11259-3B

On the side of the metering block in a little circle it has HP in the middle and around that in a circle it has: 34R-5976B. The last one could be an 8 or B, very hard to tell.

Thanks guys,
Dave S.

1,150 1.830

1,250 1.880

you must have been trying to measure the throttle bore dia. and not the venturi

I did measure the bottom of the bore. Where is the correct location to measure the venturi size?
I have the pics uploaded to photobucket. Here is they are finally.

It could be a custom carb built by someone buying Holley parts in bulk.

I have a Pro-Systems carb and I don't think it has any numbers on it where a stock carb usually does, like yours.

I was going to say the same thing. It is the newer hp style main body, and the base plate is a standard baseplate for that body. The bowls however look to have been worked somehow as my 1150 doesn't have the quick change openings like that. I can see the good and bad with that. Me personally, i just pull the bowls for jet changes

Looks to be an earlier 1150 HP, should have 2" blades.
