It would have come with an Auto-Lite 2100 series 2V carb, because...there was no such thing as Motorcraft prior to 1972.

In 1972, Ford was forced by the US Gov't to sell Auto-Lite, as they claimed Ford had a monopoly on autoparts.

After selling Auto-Lite, Ford started in-house brand Motorcraft, transfering all the Auto-Lite part numbers over to Motorcraft part numbers.

For example: D4AZ-9A586-A (replaced C2AZ-9A586-D) .. Auto-Lite/Motorcraft 2V Carburetor Kit (Motorcraft CT-499-D replaced Auto-Lite CT-499-B).

Fits all: Auto-Lite/Motorcraft 2V carburetors installed in 1962/74 Passenger Cars & Trucks / 1966/74 Bronco's / 1969/74 Econolines.
