Would you be kind enough to tell me the proper carburetor for my Ford

Thank you very much,

I have an Edelbrock 750 (1407) and it seems to be plenty on my 460.

caburetor identification

I got this info from the tag on the carburetor. As near as I can make out it reads:
Motorcraft
E3TE R2
213

Does that make any sense?
Thank you

any parts store should be able to get you a suitable replacement or a rebuild kit based on the numbers you pull off your carb, and the year of the chassis.

Electric choke problem

I need directions on how to set an electric choke. I've seen them somewhere in the forums but haven't been able to find them.
Thanks

Look on the air horn and you will find ALL the numbers, You didn't say what year your motorhome was. My guess is you have a Holley 4180, this carb is a very good carb, it runs a dual stage power valve, probably #612 jets, its one draw back is if it is a pre-92 it has NO power valve protection making it easy to blow power valves, CENTREX makes a power valve protection for $12.00 to your front door and it can be installed without taking carb apart. If it is a 4180 Holley and you decide to toss it out let me know.

Oh, a couple of other things, if it is the stock HOLLEY it is a 600CFM. If you are going to rebuild it you will need the motorcraft # which is your tag number. If you are going to change carbs and are wondering what CFMs to get, I can share with you when I did some mods to mine I had a clear vision as to where I was going in the long term I contacted HOLLEY techs. and layed out what I was tring to do and they told me to stay with the 600CFM. That is also an ave. Probably more info than you wanted.
