Correct Carb for an F code
« on: March 29, 2016, 12:15:22 PM »
I find out my daughter is moving to NYC, and can't take her '64 1/2 pink/white convertible F code I had fully restored for her 5 years ago, so I get it back and am thinking about putting a correct Autolite 2 bbl. carb on it.  When restored, the engine was kept original, nothing changed except the carb, which was in bad shape so replaced by a larger Holley 2 bbl.  What carb is original and anyone know of a place to look for a restored/rebuilt one?  Thanks.
I don't always downshift, but when I do it is near a Prius so they can hear me hurting the environment.

Per the "1955-1979 Ford Carburetor Guide, 4th ed" by Pony Carburetors, a 260 with an AT would have carburetor C4ZF-E, a MT would be C4ZF-F. Sources: look in the services section of this forum; e-bay; use the search feature.

I promise to be politically correct in all my posts to keep the BBBB from vociferating.

They are tough to find, 1.01 on the side.

Thanks, probably very little demand for them, and so very little supply to choose from too.  There must have been many thousands that were ripped off and replaced by 4 bbls.
