Hi Folks,
Is there anything special about a 7RT Carburetor and why are they used mainly on pickup trucks? Is it a power or economy carburetor?

1948 Mercury M47 - Engine casting No. C1BA
Flathead historians:
Our '48 Mercury M47 pickup has an engine casting No. C1BA. Should it not be a C8BA engine, if it were the original engine, of the same manufacturing year as the pickup?
