We installed a new $90 Amazon Carb on our old ford truck. Tune into see how it went and what we thought!
Good to see a review on these Amazon carbs
That carb looks like a show piece compared to stock one
I've bought 2 of these without problems.
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.
Exactly the type of video I was looking for! Thanks for posting
We are so happy it’s what you were looking for! Thanks for watching.
thank you just what i needed in the process of installing one of those
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, just bought one for my 85 Bronco , thanks for the info
Loved it! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
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.
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."
I bought an Autoline reman carb rebuilt in Canada. Got it at Nine to Nine auto parts Wa state. It’s a quality reman of an original oem carb. Was $240.
Just got the same one, ready to put it on my 1960 F100 292 yblock
Thanks looking at this video i am glad i went the route of ordering a rebuild kit for 60 bucks instead of the 80 dollar carb.
GOOD JOB THANK YOU
Nice! Fishing and trucks! And it's a f100! Subscribed. I figured I would try to rebuild the stock carb before I tried out one of these
Thanks for the info on those carbs. I was wondering about them.
I'm trying to limp my international 304 until I get my new engine finished... Fingers crossed this cheapie works good enough. Just hit play on your video, hopefully it helps. The comments tell me it may! Thanks!
Dude... I read your comment and was geeked that someone else was trying to put this carb on an ih 304. Then I realized this was my comment from when I first bought the damn carb. 😂😂😂.
Good video, I just got one for my cj5 with th 304 and wanted to see what it would be like before I put it on.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
I preciate you
Thank you!
How’s it held up? The throttle shaft word out in mine and it has under 500 miles can’t even get a idle now. Gonna use it for parts and fix my original I suppose
I went out and bought one of these... put it all together, then my starter and solenoid crapped out...
2 years later I finally got to test fire it... accelerator pump is leaking.
I put mine on and got to drive it same day, less than 500 miles later the throttle linkage it leaking so bad you cant get a idle.
For a flip truck and you don’t mine screwing someone guess they’d work.
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.
2150 is better than a 2100.. it has elevation auto adjustment.. the older ones dont
I've read reviews stating that the threads on the jets are wrong, making them non serviceable. Would like to know what you find, if you break it down again?
Great video thanks. Great video quality and love the old stuff! A+++ A1 Keep the videos coming, Subscribing!
I need to know where all the vacuum lines go??? There are 5-8 lines front and rear??? Got my truck with no carb on it so I have no reference other than they are all laying there disconnected. 1978 ford f250 351 4 speed manual 2 barrel. Thanks
Any luck? Looking for the same info.

If you have not found it yet, might be able to help you.
Not on Amazon presently, but tons on ebay for $74
Hi, I´m mounting a 302 engine, and I have many doubts about this carburetor. It have many tubes on downside, and with some difference between the oribinal motorcraft carburetor. How can I do to send to you the pictures about all the parts that I have doubt?
I have this carb.
I got the same carburetor for my 76 f100 and it’s ok but the choke doesn’t work and the linkages are just garbage and really lose I’ve done a lot of work to the carb and it’s just shit don’t buy it get something made in America like a rebuilt autolite or a Holley if you have a 2 barrel
at time 3:28, what is the function of this component in your hands?
Would be curious to know which jets your old 2100/2150 has.
Depend on flow rating of carb, while they all look alike, there are various CFM sizes.
Same here. would like to know what jet size were on the rebuilt carb and the new one
out of the box. 55-56 is what's good for a 400 without an air pump in a 1.21-1.23.
That thing you bolted on in the beginning… what the hell was that? My stock carb doesn’t have it
I bought one too. It idles too high right now. I'm hoping to remedy that.
did you ever fix that? having the same problem
@@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
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...
I put one on my truck it had a 2100 the 2150 I put on it I can not get it to ilde down can you help me out with this
Revisa la pata del carburador el 2100 es diferente
I have the same issue did you figure out what it was?
@@pnwDatsun I just got mine installed and running, did you happen to figure out how to reduce the idle in the last 3 weeks?
Already a NO buy for me if I have to take one apart, swapping little items AOK but that's it for me
Engines and motors are two different things~
That crazy mullet wig he's wearing is f#*king distracting.
