Here is a set of floats for a 1940 Holley single barrel. That would be on a 223.

Gp Sorensen/Carburetor Float (779-1735) | 1962 Ford F100 1/2 ton P/U 2WD 6 Cylinders 3.7L 1BL | AutoZone.com

Dave, these pictured set of floats were not used in 1961/62 Holley 1V's w/a 223 I-6.

C2AZ-9550-A (replaced EAA-9550-A) .. Holley 1V Float - Use w/223 I-6 / Obsolete

Applications: 1954/62 Holley 1V's installed in Ford Passenger Cars & Trucks.

PARTS INTERNATIONAL in Farmers Branch TX has 6 = 888-727-0418.

GRIESEL MOTOR CO. in Okarche OK has 8 = 405-263-7242.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 42 = 800-543-4959.

Thanks for the info Bill, I knew the Autozone answer was wrong but he was trying to help. I;ve been having a hard time trying to find parts for this engine, I had to order lifters from Puerto Rico.

Here is melling jb-892 flat tappet lifters for a 223 availible at Jeg's.

http://www.jegs.com/i/Melling/689/JB-892/10002/-1


I know the picture shows a dual float. Go to AZ and see if it is the correct Holley single and the picture is a typo?

1904 manual.

MCarbHollIHC53E322B - page 1 of 25

Here is used and new floats for 1904s
Holley 1904 Carburetor Float - good used - International Scout Parts - Scout II Parts - Your Authorized IH Lightline Dealer

These carbs were used on all kinds of engines, from slant six mopars to IHC to fords.

They us the same internals.

For future reference:

B8C-6500-A (replaced EAA-6500-A) .. 1954/64 223 I-6 Tappet (Lifter) Assy / Obsolete

Dennis Carpenter NOS Obsolete Parts in Concord NC has 389 = 800-476-9653.

EAA-6500-A = Green Sales Co. in Cincinnati OH has 22 = 800-476-9653.

There's prolly a lot more of these around, the Ford Dealer Parts Locator System is down at this time for maintenance.

Parts for 223's shouldn't be too hard to find, so the next time you need something, feel free to ask here on FTE

Thanks Garbz, The International site has everything you could want and at reasonable prices. Thanks again for your help. Jegs is way to expensive. $30 plus is way out of line for 1 lifter. I got my lifters from Pedrosa Mechanical in Puerto Rico 3 for 8.50 and $8 shipping.
