Help identifying this FoMoCo carb

Hi all,

I have a FoMoCo carb and would love your help identifying it.

The triangular tag says:
Series: KBA
Type: 1AA
Date: T

Other identifying marks are the engineering stamp C1AE-AA and the venturi stamp 1.02 (with a J above it). As far as I can tell it's an Autolight 2100 from a 1961 Ford with a Y-block V8.

Thanks in advance for your help.

No such thing as Auto-Lite (related to FoMoCo) or a 2100 series carb until 1962.

Carb ID tag number: C1AE-AA = Ford part number: C1AZ-9510-A .. 2V Ford Carburetor-1961 Ford Custom/Galaxie 292 with 3 speed overdrive.

1AA = Assembled the first week (A) of January (A), 1961 (1).

C0AZ-9A586-E .. 2V Ford Carburetor Kit -1960/61 Ford Custom/Galaxie 292.

1961 292 trucks came with Holley carbs.
---------------------------------------
D4AZ-9A586-A (replaced C2AZ-9A586-B) .. 2100 series 2V Carburetor Kit Motorcraft CT-499-D (replaced Auto-Lite CT-499-B).

Applications: ALL 1962/72 Auto-Lite & 1973/74 Motorcarft 2100 series 2V carbs installed in 1962/74 Passenger Cars/Trucks, 1966/74 Bronco's & 1969/74 Econolines.

1972: US Gov't forced FoMoCo to sell Auto-Lite as they claimed FoMoCo had a monopoly on autoparts. FoMoCo then started in-house brand Motorcraft, the Auto-Lite part numbers became Motorcraft part numbers.
