I am looking at a 1988 Dodge Half Ton 4x4 for a friend and am wondering what kind of carburetor (if any) came on this truck stock, and opinions of it. I know I have an 1987 and the previous owner swapped out the carb it had for an older GM carb.

Holley Model 6520 2BBL and if it were larger than a 1/2 ton and a 360, it would have had a Quadrajet 4BBL.

Its a 318, sorry for not including that. Is that an electric choke?

a 318 will be throttle body injected, 88 was the first year of fuel injection in dodge trucks.

I list both a carb and the EFI setup, so it may have been optional or done by emissions region.

it lists both for a 318, or both for a half ton truck? i ask because in 88 only the 318s got TBI, the 360s didnt get it until 89. same with the MPFI later on, the 318 got it a year earlier than the 360.

The book list both the 2BBL carb and the EFI setup for the 318 in 1988. For what it's worth, my '88 W150 had the 318 with EFI also.
