Thanks Jay. I think I now understand the relationship of carb to distributor, and I think I understand the reason for vacuum (to advance the timing?) but, as...
COOL... From reading all of Jay's post, I'm going to have to get one of those high vac carb's. Maybe Jay can help me with the model# and car I can get it from....
I'm using a 170. Jay had it on a 170, but it's on a 200 now. The site Jay mentioned has some great info. Will in Whittier,Ca. ... Will in Whittier,Ca. 63 Econo...
Bob in NCWA, Tried to post this earlier so this might be a repeat, though with slightly different wording. The fuel/air mixture burns at a constant speed that...
I'm trying to ID an intake for a 429, part # C8SE 9425 B , and I'm guessing from the port sizes it required an Autolite 4 bl, square bore variety. With the...
Jay, I have the door chunk welded in and I am curious as to what kind of paint was on the rest of the vehicle? This piece with the red paint I had to burn the...
David, 'fraid I'll need the whole part number. 12127 is Ford's group code for "distributor", so *all* Ford distributors carry this code. It's the prefix...
I will be putting the Holly Webber 32/36 on my 200ci in the next week or so. There's quite a lot of good info on them on fordsix.com. I got it from Langdon...
Jim, far as I know that's the original red paint. That and the matching passenger door were all I had - came from a guy with a barn full of Econoline doors...
Will, there are a *lot* of different carb versions, especially for the small sixes. Some of the variables are: carb model (Autolite 1100, Holley 1940, etc);...
Wow...even though I had no problems with it since i got it in january? Just all of the sudden I had issues. I was thinking maybe a vaccum line came off or...
Patrick, Google turned this up: http://www.fordforums.com/showthread.php?t=130549 If it's indeed a standard 429, I can look up the CFM rating it came with. Jay...
first, the rest of the dizzy ID, all appears as follows (the dizzy I purchased to replace the original that came with the van, same #'s): C6DF 12127 K 5LA ...
Erick, I was saying carb since you said it had always had a problem idling. Could very well be a vacuum leak, or water in the gas for that matter, if it's a...
David, I, too, bought a 32/36 carb from Stovebolt. Despite what his site says, I can almost gaurantee you that the carb was not rebuilt for that price. It has...
I am generally speaking, a "you get what you pay for" kind of guy, and I'm sure the recarbo carb is top notch. Trouble is, I'm into my current rebuild almost...
David, I did write that the Stoveblolt carb would probably work, just not as well as it probably should/could. I also read the testimonials before I bought...
Oh, and I also put the locking fasteners you recommended on the rebuild.... very happy so far.... $55..... I was in la la land before Econosarus... David SoCal...
David SoCal, Holy Guacamole, the Stage 8 bolts are expensive now. Never had a head gasket failure in the twenty plus years I've used 'em, though. Never even a...
Wow must have been the end of that style paint so they (Ford) used it up on this one van almost like it was a brush job. Jim in WI ... barn ... liquifie ... ...
... By way of exp;aination. If you figure out the area of the two barrels of the carb and compare that to the opening in the manifold side of the adapter you...
David, I don't find that part number in anything I've checked. All I can tell you so far is that it's a 1966 Falcon part number. I'll dig a bit more when I've...
