Topic: What is the correct carb for a 68 C code

[Oz390]

Know it should be an Autolite 2100, but what number?

April 30 '68 San Jose build.  C4.   Sold in California.

C8AF-L if with IMCO, C8AF-AK if with Thermactor Emission control (both 289's).

Same carb as used in all the other states    Just depends on if the car was an automatic or manual trans

Have been advised elsewhare "The correct carb for your Cal Special would be a C8ZF-G 1.08;"

Is there a refernce that list all these varaints?   I have one that lists the -G and the -L, but no clarification of what the differnce in the application of the two is, as the car has no Thermactor stuff the -AK seems out of the running.......

Anyone know the difference in the -L and -G??? and which would apply to this car?  Cal Special if it makes any difference, which I doubt...

C8AF-L if with IMCO, C8AF-AK if with Thermactor Emission control (both 289's).

My bad...C8AF-L with IMCO, automatic
C8AF-L with IMCO and automatic
C8AF-AK with T/E and manual

From Mannel's book Mustang and Ford Small Block V8.

No ref to the -G?  Told -L was for other lines of 289 cars and the -G was for Mustangs... and also told -L and -G are pretty mcuh the same expect for the tag (odd).  Have a line on a -G with a perfect date code...

Seems that are all pretty much the same thing as the service replacemnet across the board for many 2100's is the same...

Richard, I think I have a G tag lying around somewhere. Its yours for the asking (if I can find it)

Thanks Tim, I have a guy who will sell me a rebuilt, run-on-engine tested, -G for $200, looked like a good price.  Just trying to sort out the difference... thanks for the offer!  If it doesn't show up with the tag I'll let you know! Appreciate the offer....

There is a C8ZF-G listed.  This is for Mustang automatics with IMCO.  Sounds like you are good to go with a -G.

Thanks!  It's on the way and should be here in a week or so and on the car the following weekend!!!
