Here's why:
* Model Year: 1988 was a transition year for Dodge. While fuel injection was becoming more common, many models, especially those geared towards work and utility (like camper vans), still used carburetors.
* Engine: The 318 is a classic, well-established engine design that was often paired with carburetors in that era.
To be absolutely sure, you can:
* Check the engine: Look for a large, metal box with a series of air filters and fuel lines connected to it. That's the carburetor.
* Look at the engine code: You can find the engine code on a tag located near the engine itself. It will indicate the type of fuel system used.
* Consult your owner's manual: It should provide information on the fuel system used in your specific vehicle.
However, it's worth noting that some 1988 Dodge models *did* offer fuel injection as an option. So, it's always best to confirm with the specific details of your van.
