carburator/ 223 i6

My carb is leaking on my 65 F100 240 ci . They aren't all that expensive as I've noticed. Should I rebuild it or just replace it???

Rebuild it. There is no reason to replace it unless it is seriously broken. Mine leaked and i rebuilt it for about $20 and it works well and doesn't leak. If it leaks its because it has something broken that is in the rebuild kit.

Look again as there are no 223s installed in any 65 ford trucks. Post the VIN and it should be a 240.

There should be a small metal tag bolted on the carburetor. Mine was covered with mud/grease/40 years of crap. When you find it write that number down and take it to an auto store, they should be able to order it.

Today, many of these tags are missing. Look on the base of the carb, Ford also stamped the ID number there.

F10 = F100 2WD

J = 240 1V I-6 (1965 only! 1966/74 240 I-6 = A). J was also used 1954/64 for the 223 I-6.

L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant.

588742 = 1965, assembled September 1964.

240/300: The intake/exhaust manifolds are located on the right (passenger) side // 223: The intake/exhaust manifolds are located on the left (drivers) side.

Ahhh Haaaa....The J is what threw me off. Thanks to you guys I'll get this figured out.Thanks so much for all the info. I know where to look for help.
Brakes next issue: No pedal pressure. Master was empty,Lines are all great shape I got the back bleeders to open with no problem.Haven't tried the front ones yet. So do I start with the fron ones 1st then go to the back ,to bleed? Do you think the master has dried out after sitting 5 yrs and should be replaced? I filled it and of course..no pedal when pumped .

Question 65 240 carb.

Metal tag of course is missing . And can't seem to see the stamped #'s on the base. Guess it would be best to remove it from the intake??
Or can anyone give me a guess at what carb it is by the picture in my Garage.???
