The correct carb for your car is a Carter 622SA. That number appears on a brass tag affixed to the unit.

Carter form 4786C identifies model 723S WCD Dual Down-Draft for 1949-50 Kaiser and Frazer with dual-manifold engine, or 685S along with 685SA as used same application.  The 723 was later production, 685 types showed as carry over from 1948 model year for earlier 1949 model year production.

622S series (A or B) was for the 1 barrel Kaiser Special according to Carter Form 711J

In the 1949-50 model year, all Kaiser Deluxe models (K492) were equipped with the dual manifold (2 barrel carb) type engine.  K491 models had the single barrel one that Jim Lape noted in his post.

Interesting...on page 276 of Last Onslaught, it clearly states that the 622SA is a dual downdraft carburetor. Guess we've found a misprint!

Make sure that the seals and other rubber or plastic parts are not ORIGINAL, but are the latest neophreme parts.  Otherwise, the alcohol in the gasoline will work like acid on them, wrecking the carb as well as other non-metal fuel line parts.
