I have an 85 F150 300ci with a Carter YFA computer controlled carburetor original equipment. I am looking for parts so I can get it running properly without changing out to an older model. Anyone who has converted their feedback carburetor to a non-feedback I am interested in getting any parts you are willing to part with.

I have a truck with a complete carburetor. What all do you need?

Thanks Bill, let tell you where I am currently in the process. After taking the Feedback/Mixture Control Solenoid apart, first I verified it was not working properly, I found that the spring that pushes the plunger up to close off two ports had corroded on one end and was to short to move the plunger. So for the last week or so I have searched for a replacement. In my search I have not found an exact match but have been giving several springs that may work. Being old school I would rather fix something rather than replace it if possible. Todays project is to determine if any of the three springs I have will work. Jim shared a link with me where I could purchase a replacement FCS in the event none of the springs work.

 

If you are committed to keeping this thing running, and he doesn't want much for the parts, I think I would try and get what I can. That's just me though.

 

That's what I tell my wife all the time when see sees all the, in her words "junk" I have.


I tell here "what if" something happens and I need that part? It is hard to find good ones now what will happen in a few years if I need it and cant find it do I scrap the car (70 AMC Javelin)/truck?


Yep if you can pick up the parts for a good price get them.
