it may have a tag id of R-2017 or 2018 depending on stick or auto and what it is built for.

Also If You Have A Owners Manuel For My 1987 Dodge Dakota L E 6 Cyl 3.9 I Need It To Find Out What Each Fuse And Other Things That Are Plugged Into The Fuse Box Panel Are For. It Just Says To Refer To The Owners Manuel. If You Don't Have This Manuel, Maybe You Have A Diagram Showing What Each Item That Is Plugged In Are For.

I Checked For Numbers On The Carb Of My 1987 Dodge Dakota L E 6 Cyl 3.9 And All The Numbers I Was Able To Locate Are>> 427583, A324652

Carburetor models 5220 and 6520 are 2-stage, 2-venturi type. Primary venturi is smaller than secondary. Secondary stage is mechanically operated by linkage to primary and secondary throttle levers.
those really seem like casting numbers if you have like this then you have one of the other numbered carbs. just go to an autoparts to get akit they can figure it out as i'm sure that is what you want anyhow. if it looks like the pic it's a 2280 model.

Can You Show A Diagram Of Carb And Parts Needed To Operate Choke By Name So I Will Know Name Of Part I Need ?

I found this exploded view.

Thanks Very Much For The Carb Diagram, It Has Allowed Me To Find The Name Of The Carb Part I Need.

I'm glad it helped, good luck.

This Truck Has A 2 Barrel Carburetor By Holly That Has Two Wires Running Into The Drivers Side Of The Carburetor. Can You Tell Anything By This As To Which Carburetor It Is ?

No... There should be a tag on the top of the carb (held in with a screw) that identifies the model of the carb.

Their Is No Tag With Screw, But Their Is A number In The Front Of The Carburetor. Would This Be The Number I Need ?

This look like you?

I can show you how to save $40 on it too, if you are interested!

That should identify what carb you have. I have to tell you, my nephew and I are in the middle of building an 87 dakota. We are cutting things away under the hood to fit a 440ci in it. This should be interesting to say the least.

I have no knowledge of engines, and I'm wondering what the difference is between carburetors and throttle-body injection, and electronic fuel injection?

A carb functions from the engine's vacuum. Throttle body is electric and injects fuel through an injector which is run by the computer. The throttle body is a type of electronic fuel injection. There is also multi port fuel injection whereas all cylenders have their own injectors.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Wow O Wow A 440ci In This 87 Dakota Man Is Going To Be More Than Just Interesting, All Anyone Will Be Able To See Is The Rear End. Also Thanks For The Carb Info, This Is The Exact Fit ( Carb 6280 ) Have A Very Nice One My Friend.

Glad to help.

U get fuel 2 the thottle body carb. but the 2 injectors in the carb. aren't releasing fuel into the carb. . I think its a sensor or module like the pick-up coil or the stop-run module or whatever tells the injectors 2 release fuel 2 the engine.

That's a throttle body, not a carburetor. Before you get wrapped around the axle and pedal down the wrong road, you need to do a complete diagnosis and check for spark. More than likely it's missing too. The common cause is the pickup assembly under the rotor in the distributor.

Pulses from the pickup assembly tells the engine computer to turn on the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay. That relay sends voltage to the alternator field, the injector, the ignition coil, and the fuel pump or pump relay. If you have spark during cranking, the ASD relay has to be turning on and the pickup assembly has to be working. Chances are it's not.
