Offenhauser 2X1 question
#31
I read somewhere that this can cause poor fuel mileage and sluggish performance. I'm not sure how to read the carb #'s to determine which type it is. I also don't have a clue if there were any 223 dizzys made without LoM

Could it be you have a non LoM carb with a LoM dizzy?

Read this all the way through: Help with 215 OHV I6 2x1 set up - The Ford Barn. There are instructions at the end on how to convert a later style 300 dizzy to use with the 215/223 engine.
If you're persistent, you can make it work. I just got tired of it not working right and wanted to drive the truck without dropping more money into it. Let us know how you make out.

Seems like a lot of work and it is. But is it worth it? I think so. Ford Duraspark is, IMO, the best dizzy ever made.

Knowing all this info why didn't you peruse the fix with a modified dizzy?

This is exactly what I did. I also set it up with a GM (I know, sacrilege) HEI module because it's cheap, see above pic. In my case I got a '64 oil pump as I had the pan off anyway. It has the 5/16 opening for the later oil pump drive shaft used on the Duraspark dizzys. IIRC I bought a new drive shaft and cut it to fit. I had to have the stock dist gear opened up to fit the larger shaft of the Duraspark dist. I had a machinist do it as I know one and we exchange favors on a routine basis.

When you were fooling around with your duel set up what jets were you using? I got a 64 and a 66 but I think its too much. Any recommendations?
