Hi,

Brand new member here, so please bare with me.

Need help identifying the carb so I purchase the correct carb rebuild kit.
I have a 1972 F100 with a 360 and a 2 barrel Motorcraft carb. I have the numbers off the engine tag if needed. I even took photos too. Appears to be the stock carb, I am just paranoid about buying the wrong carb kit.
I am pretty good at the basic stuff but have never rebuilt a carb before.

thank you.

 

We're not clairvoyant so help us to help you... please post the numbers and post the pic. Thanks!

Kits sometimes cover variations of the same model and may contained parts that may not be used on the particular carb.

 

It is probably an autolite 2100/ motorcraft 2150.

But It could be a lot of other things too. So like hio said. Help us help you.

 

The carb may have been swapped out over the last 40 years so look for a tag and numbers on the carb.

 

Welcome to FTE

1970/74: D0AZ-9J549-C .. Choke Pull-Off Diaphram (Motorcraft CK-1283) not included in carb kit, sold separately. Nestles into hole-top of airhorn, only thing visible is its L shaped rod.

Ok, here are the numbers from the engine tag:

360 72 4
1 K K 301S

And I am still trying to figure out how to post a pic. Sorry.

 

Ok,

No tag on the carb. Only can find the Motorcraft name, obviously just a two barrel.
Best I can tell, I can't post pics or attachments since I am so new.

Everything else on the truck, minus the back bumper, is stock.

 

Does it look like this?:



What are the numbers on the "clockface"? It's on the driver's side of the main body like pictured here:

 

The kit is a Walker 15369D. Basically, if you have a Motorcraft carb from the 50s to the mid 70s, that is the kit for it.

 

Yep. That's the one oreillys carries. On hand at my store.

 

No such thing as Motorcraft prior to 1972, FoMoCo purchased Auto-Lite in 1961.

1971: US Gov't forced FoMoCo to sell Auto-Lite claiming FoMoCo had a monopoly on auto parts.

FoMoCo then started in-house brand Motorcraft, all the Auto-Lite parts/part numbers became Motorcraft parts/part numbers.

That's some good info right there!

 

That's what mine looks like, except... how did you get that one to look so clean?

 

Hi again,

Yes, HIO Silver that photo looks like my carb, just not as shiny, dam.

Ok, daylight sure helps with seeing the Clock numbers.

The numbers on the clock face say 1.21 There are some sort of dots and whatnot inbetween the 12 and 2 position of the clock but I must be getting old because I can't make it out. Tried taking a photo with the smart phone and zooming in but its all Greek to me.

Thank you for all this awesome info. Learning alot every time I read.

 

That ain't my carb.. that pic is hot-linked off the web.

According to the Ford Carburetor Guide from Pony Carburetors, flow figures for the Autolite 2100 carbs are as follows:

.98 venturi = 190cfm
1.01 = 245
1.02 = 240
1.08 = 287
1.14 = 300
1.21 = 351
1.23 = 356
1.33 = 424
