Gentlemen:

I have a 1976 F-150 with 42K original miles. It has a 390 with an automatic trans. It currently has an after-market Holley carb that leaks like a sieve.

I want to try find an OEM carb.

The 76 shop manual I have does not ID a carb specificaly for the F-150. Does anyone know what the part number was for the original carb?

Thanks.

 

It most likely had an autolite carb. 2 barrel I assume?

 

My 76 came with a 4 bbl Holley from the factory originally.

 

No FoMoCo car or truck used any Auto-Lite parts after 1972.

After fighting it out in the courts for years and losing case after case, Ford was finally forced by the US Gov't to sell Auto-Lite in 1972, because the Gov't claimed Ford had a monopoly on autoparts.

Ford claimed that if they were guilty, so was GM...who had owned DELCO since 1911. That argument fell on deaf ears.

Ford then started in-house brand Motorcraft.

1976 F150 390: Is it a 2V or a 4V? The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code: H = 1968/76 390 2V / M = 1974/76 390 4V.

As original: 2V = Motorcraft / 4V = Holley.

There are several different versions of each carb...as it depends on whether the truck was originally sold new in CA...or not.

 

My 1976 F-100 came with a 2 bbl, part number 2150 on a 360.

The Truck was sold in Washington State. It is an original 4V.

I have seen numbers like D4TE ASA but don't know if this is for a 150 or 250.

 

Thanks for your assistance.

 

D4TE-ASA = D4TZ9510AS .. Holley 4V (Motorcraft CA1157)

Fits: 1974, 1975 (before serial number W00,001) F150/350 C6 non CA.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

No Ford Dealer, no other obsolete parts vendor has any.

D5TE-EA = D5TZ9510E .. Holley 4V (Motorcraft CA1243) / Obsolete

Fits: 1975 (from serial number W0,001), 1976 F150/350 390 4V C6 non CA.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

 

Hmm. I did not know that about the autolites. My 66 Fairlane has an autolite 2 barrel. My brother is really into the autolite carbs for some reason. He claims they are the best carbs. ?? The 1975 Highboy I had had a 360 with Autolite 4-barrel, I figured it was stock, guess not. My brother stole that carb. lol.

 

Thanks very much for your help. The shop manual shows D5TE-EA for 250s and 350s but I guess it will work for 150s as well. It has a cruise-o-matic 3 speed transmission, is this the same as a C6?

 

1968/76: The only A/T used with 360/390 engines is the C6.

1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog / Carburetor Application Chart / Section 95; Page 42:

D5TE-EA = D5TZ9510E (Motorcraft CT1243).

Fits: 1975 F150/350 390 from serial number W0,001 (except CA emission), all 1976 F150/350 390 (except CA emission).

 

Thanks again for your help, your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find out what type of carb I have. I have a 360 CID engine with this motorcraft 2 barrel carb. It does say motorcraft on top of the carb. The tag that should be there has long been gone. Can you tell what type of carb i got by my vin number F10YKX41069? I know it is a 2150. But the number on the carb tag is missing so i have nothing to go by as I am trying to get a replacement and these carb dealers what a number to go by. 2150 means nothing to them. Please help.
