motorcraft carburetor

I have a 300 6 that runs my sawmill. Someone stole the carburetor. It's a manual choke with an aftermarket dui distributor. I have an early 80s truck (junker) with a 300 the carb looks like I could get it to work but my old carb didn't have all the things on it that this one has. Can I somehow get this carb to work? The tag on the truck carb -

I decided to just put it on and see if it would work, it didn't. There isn't even adjustment screws on it. Any suggestions which carb I need?

Thanks

Although your trial at using what you have was unsuccessful, IT COULD be made to work I'm sure with a little work although not adjusted properly perhaps. Here is a manual choke version of one that is recommended sometimes when a replacement is needed. Good luck in your search..too bad about the theft, those manual choke versions are hard to find "in the wild". I think they mostly came on your type of install, some Jeeps, and some FORDS.. What you want is a Carter YF manual choke if you can find one. A Hot air choke can be used or even an electric choke..but it will need to be setup properly.

I actually found it a little odd that took the carb and not the expensive distributor! They must not have known what they were looking at.

I was thinking the same thing. If I had to choose, I'd rather they make off with the carb than the DUI!
Good luck on getting it running again.

I'm aware that this post is way old, but do you have any of those one barrel industrial carb still kicking around?
