    Yup, that's what mine had on it when I got it. Runs pretty good too.

    Everything should bolt/hook up, the only problem is the engine will be running too lean, read burned valves etc! Find the right carb and save yourself a lot of headaches, read money!

    Guess that works out for me, I need a relatively lean carb since most of my driving is at 5000+ feet.

    Carburetor you're looking for is WGD-776S - fits 1950-1952 all Hudson 6 exc Pacemaker & 8 Cyl. also fits 1953-54 Super Wasp & Hornet. That's for single - for Twin-H set up the carb is WA1-968S.
