I am looking for a rebuild kit for my holley carburetor from a Ford F100 1960 223. I have found the reference manual on the Holley homepage but none of the numbers match the only two numbers I can find on the carb, 25R161 and 6R15451.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks,
Lawrence

 

Lawrence,
I ran into the same problem when I tried to rebuild mine. I eventually got a kit for a slightly newer carb. Something like a 1960,1460, or 1640 model number, of course I don't remember the exact number. What I did was take mine in and compare it to the rebuilt carbs the parts store had, then bought the kit for that carb. The main difference was in the top where the cleaner connected other then that all the parts where the same.
But a word of warning. Rebuilting didn't do any good. The carbs are 40 years old and just plain worn out.
I even bought a rebuilt carb at one of the stores and it was in worse condition then my original.
If your hard up for a carb I got two, "I've pulled my 223 for a 302" and I'll sell them for $20 to cover the cost of shipping.

If you go back to the Holley site they have a tech help section. Send them all the numbers off your carb and they might come up with a carb kit number.
