My 60 F100 has a Holley on the 292. I read that was common, but mine has a big mess of govenors on side, which I found to be it was from a big truck like a F600 So what carb can I look for that'll work for me? A less expensive option would be best. My carb is junk. Needs rebuilt but don't want or need the govenor, and read it can't be removed. Thanks
Cheaper than the Holley, the Motorcraft/Autolite 2BBL equivalent. Easy to toss a rebuild kit into and they're good carbs. Bob
I had a Ford stock car that we had to ditch the Holley (b.s. rule change...) and go to an Autolite. With a careful rebuild, the car was just as fast as with the Holley. Bob
Also, off subject. My truck seems to have a 4spd. I havnt been able to drive it but seems like 4 gear with reverse to right and forward. I thought 3spd was the norm...?!
Find an autolite 4100 . I have one on my 292. It runs great. Do a full rebuild on it and mke sure to replace the diaphram on the vacume secondaries.
Go with post #8 for the 4-barrel selection. If the stick comes out of the top of the box, you probably have the real truck 4-speed box with the low low 1st gear. Crawl under it, it probably has a PTO (power take off) plate on the side of it. Bob
