    That carb looks like a show piece compared to stock one

    There was one on a '69 Fairlane 302 I bought, JUNK!!!. It lost a vacuum plug that went through the engine(aluminum so apparently no harm). Rendered one side of carb inoperative.
    I went through a friends stash and found a '69 2100 from a 351. Rebuilt that and it's been fine.

    I bought one of these Autolite/Motorcraft clones a couple months ago for my '57 Thunderbird. The modifications were minor since my car's a bare-bones 3-speed (no anti-stall dashpot, kickdown assembly, etc.). While the 12V spade on the automatic choke interfered with the air cleaner housing, my climate is warm enough that I just rotated it so the choke is always open. THE BAD NEWS: after about a hundred miles, the power valve diaphragm failed. It developed holes, so fuel kept draining into the intake manifold. Hard starts, terrible runability. I replaced the power valve with one from a rebuild kit but I'm still not getting the carb to run right. Having witnessed the power valve failure, I sldo checked the accelerator pump diaphragm; it looks fine. Bottom line for me: in theory I love this thing (who would've thought anyone would come up with an exact copy, especially one that allows part swapping from an original?), but now I don't feel I can trust it.

      The other CZcams videos of Chinese knock off carbs all have problems. They tore them down and they’re basically junk. I was going to get one for my 86 ford but I need something that works. I’m getting one from Oreily for $200.

    • @brucebarker6272

      I gave up on mine and turned to a pro carb shop for a correct late-'50s Autolite for my car. As he said, with a wry chuckle, "they ALMOST got it right."

    That's a nice truck! I sure like the supercab, I'd like one fer sure. Ford designed some good carbs in the 2100 & 4100. The later designed emissions 2150 wasn't as good but I guess it was the best they could do with the regulations at the time. I don't recall if the trucks had catalytic converters in 78 or 79... it might of depended on vehicle gross weight spec... My memory isn't too good anymore. The 400M engine in my experience was better than the 360/390FE. I'd sure like to know how that carb holds up. Does your fuel have ethanol in it. That stuff ruined gas for our old cars. Thank you for the video. I appreciate you.

  • @daylanjones4770

      @@pnwDatsunCheck for vacuum leaks that can come from intake gasket, uneven mounting surface, or the big one no one checks, the throttle shaft bores on the carb. Wiggle the throttle and look for movement in the shaft. If it’s bad, you can buy a bushing kit or replace the carb. Spray carb cleaner all around until the idle changes and you’ve found your vacuum leak

    I am on the fence about getting the Amazon $70 one barrel for my 77 f250 300-6.
    I can't figure out how the same carburetor is over $200 at the auto parts store but is so cheap online

    • @buttonysquare8501
      @buttonysquare8501 Před 9 měsíci +1

      It’s a cheap Chinese replica and the $200 ones are remanufactured US made originals. The 1 barrels are, well, a 1 barrel so it’s already underpowered as is. I would say the $70 one is fine you just need to make sure the 6 year old child laborer in China put it together right.

    Probably the video, but looked like you forgot the gasket for the carb to block, and then said it wobbled a little bit, wondered if it was the missing gasket that that what caused the wobble maybe. Then again i don't have as much hair as you so...
