I am picking up a 79 F-250 (has 205 ) this week. I will be parting out
entire drivetrain (well, I might keep axles). Anyway, I live in central
Jersey and truck is auto if your interested. I have driven truck and it
seems everything works OK.

Yea, how about some truck nationals here on the west coast. Haven't seen anything
like that around here! It's just like all the Shelby conventions; they are all
back east.

We have the best weather out here, no rain in summer, just blue skies and liquid
sunshine.

Gary:

Azie claims to have a factory Autolite spreadbore which Stu I believe
wanted more info on. As yet we haven't heard from him on this anomaly.
Pony Carburetors modifies the 4100 to create a "spreadbore efect" by
shrinking the venturi's on the primary sidefromn 1.12" to 1.00". The
bottom plate of the 4100 is definitely a square bore pattern. Until we
here more from Azie on his "spreadbore", this is all that I can add.

Anyone confused??

The 4100 is square bore, usually with 1.12" primaries and secondaries.
Those pony guys have given it smaller primaries (1") and slightly larger
secondaries 1.18" to "simulate" a square bore carb.
The primary has about 25% less area than stock and the secondary about 10%
more than stock... I wonder if it's enough to really make much difference?
Anybody know what they want for them? No matter, they're too small for a
390 or 460 anyway...

I bought the books on the Ebay Auction Site

http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.ebay.com

Go to the search engine and type in Ford. You will get around 1000-1500
items for sales that contain the word Ford. You will have to wade through
the Whitey Ford Baseball Cards to find the Truck information, But there is
some there sometimes. Sometimes your find nothing of interest, tomorrow
you may find 5 items you want, you just never know

Steve: I believe your right in that these are the 480cfm carbs for the
mustangs that they have done the mods. However if you wanted one of the
600cfm's modified, I bet they would do it.

Cool ain't it! :)

I have a question. at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.blake.com/oemcarbs/ford.htm they say
the '68 Lincoln with a 462 cu.in. engine has a carb TYPE/BBL C-4-AFB OEM
> # C8VF-C, D, E . What is a 462? I've never seen one. Also is this a
Carter AFB? I couldn't find the 4100 on anything lots of 4300s.

Looks as though the emmisions question on 78 Fords will continue. I thank
you all for your in puts. I read the messages everyday but I must confess
my technical knowledge is limited. I will write more once we arrive in
California.
I have asked Ford top research the Vin # on my Bronco. I will pass on what
I find out.

Wow, you guys really know how to overload a newbie with info. My 360 project engine
> came with an Autolite 4300. I rebuilt it while doing the engine and now that it is
all back together, cannot get a decent idle out of it. Plus when the fuel pump
pressurizes the carb it leaks around the top. I'm thinking of a new carb and was
contemplating an Edelbrock but now ya got me thinking of an Autolite 4100. Pony
sells em rebuilt for $200. How are these carbs as far as tuning and leaking goes. I
remember manual chokes were pretty foolproof. is that the way to go?

So that there is no confusion, I'm the Ron Miller that owns Auto
Krafters, Inc in Broadway, VA. I moved the business from Omaha to
Virginia in 1987. I am not the same Ron Miller that owns Ford Power
Parts (FPP). Several years ago I was at a Shelby convention in CA. and
FPP was set up across the isle from our display and there was quite the
confusion as people wanted to talk to Ron Miller. FPP is definately a
good source for Ford performance parts. They advertise in Super Ford
Magazine among others. Thanks, Ron Miller in VA.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Re: 68 with a 360 heater hoses

Ted,
My 360 came from a 69 and was set up that way. I guess the carb adapter was to
control the temp of the carb. My auto expert said I needed to have it that way so I
found an L fitting for the manifold in front of the carb and rerouted the upper
heater hose to the back of the carb plate then put a short hose between the front
of the carb plate to the L into the manifold. I don't know if this is right but it
seems to work ok.
