Carb linkage




Carb linkage 2


Just hoping someone might be able to help. I have a 69 Bronco with a 200 cubic inch 6 cyl. It's obviously out of another vehicle, since Ford did not start putting 200 cubic inch 6's in the Bronco until 70 or 72. I suspect it from a 67 or 68 Falcon or Mustang since the casting numbers indicate the block was cast in 67. Anyway, the carb has a strange linkage modification which is attached to the choke housing, and sticks up above the bowl. The linkage connects to the throttle shaft and allows the cable to pull up on the throttle shaft. It interferes with the air cleaner though. Was there a carb spacer that would help with this, or is there a different throttle shaft with the correct linkage geometry. Car vs. truck linkage?


Thanks for your help.

How long is the accelerator cable and are there any numbers on it?

 

The cable is a C5TZ 9A758 AG and its 22.34 inches long.

 

Parts catalog says that C5TZ-9A758-AG is 28.66" long: 1965/66 F100/250 2WD 240/300 except 1966 F100 with T/E (smog pump).

So, it's possible the 1100 Auto-Lite carb is from one of these trucks and the cable was shortened to fit the Bronco.

Cable shown as 9A758 in pic.

 

Any thoughts about the linkage that sticks up above the carb? It just doesnt seem right.

 

My bad, it's actually a C6TZ 9A758 J. It should be the original correct cable for the Bronco.

I haven't read ur thread in depth but it seems U want solutions rather than what prt #s can do 4 U, no?
One oem solution has a bracket which is bolted to the driver's side of the VC - arches over the vc ! & is fastened under the carb !

Go on over to the ex-spirts (ex= a has been, spirt=water under pressure) at fordsix.com.
They would B more helpful than classicbronks or here.

One prob w/many 60s/70s fords is "low hood syndrome" so B careful on ur chosen route of problem solving (no truck intake 5.0s 2B retrofited w/o expertise in jumpin thru hoops, etc)

BTW: the 200 was in the '73/4 replacing the 170 (2.8L) & never an I6 in a bronk thereafter. It's a "square" motor and by that IMO is more of an HP & NOT a tq engine (so will go in a stang better'n a bronk).

C U over there if U try us. Lota good info/history/international ex-spirts/turbo world/etc.

 

Thanks for the info. I've been over to that site, but have not posted the question. I have a lead on a carb from a '66 bronco and the pictures the seller sent seem to confirm my theory about the throttle plate. The 66 carb has a different attachment point, which is clocked more like 2:00, than 5:00.


I'll get to the bottom of it though......Thanks.

 

Thanks for visitin/sharing where UR at…

if U want to PM xstacy or bubba (wrong spelling on 1st 1) over ford6 you'll really get some ex-spirts (1st has followed the I6 since the 50s or 60s; 2nd built them at the factory back in 60s & 70s).

Sounds like U can decipher 144 from 300 and decade/yr for block casting BUT:
the log casting #s would help here…

Carb #s R hand stamped on an edge NOT the casting #s…

Keep goin bro, UR gettin close (C ford6 to nail it) &/or hit me up @ below email…

 

U show me side, frnt, same side again ~
if U hada pic of other side I could positively ID the carb & yr
let U know wasss up.

Got the casting #s frm the log yet?


"...block was cast in 67…"
how many H2O pump bolts?
How many frz plugs?
These clues give a positive ID break below 2.8L on these 'Falcon Motors', "big blk/sm blk" is a chebby misnomer. Ford uses "families".
(ie 144, 170, 200, 250 / 240, 300).
For UR Q "on truck v car", there is no identifier in .
