What carburetor do I need?
I am trying to find out what correct carburetor I need for my 56 F100 292 V8.... The one that's on it, I believe is not the correct one and would like to replace it with one that is correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of the things you'll want to look at, prior to 1957 they used a vacuum-only style of distributor advance mechanism called "Load-o-Matic", always paired with a specific type of carburetor to operate the advance, it utilizes a special type of venturi vacuum signal.
