I've heard rumors of these and I recently found one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7915317488&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Was it worth it? or is it crap?

 

Personally this carb looks too small to feed the 300 enough air/fuel to make it run properly at higher rpm. It will probably starve for fuel at cruising speed. Then again the pics weren't clear enough. This looks like a carb designed for the 200-250 I6 that ford used to use.

 

When was the last year the 250 was put into broncos? The guy assures me that it is for an 82 4.9l I6

 

As far as i know, the 250 was never put in a bronco. The 177-200 were but never a 250. The only thing i can really say here is that it doesn't look like it will work, but the pics may not do it justice. Failing that, you can always re-sell it to someone with the smaller engines. If he bought it, specifically for that truck. Then i guess it must fit it.

 

it doesn't look right to me
is it a holley or a Holley-II
a holley part # in the auction listing would be nice

the choke and throttle shaft are in the right area for a 300.
I'm going to say it looks small but I think it is just a bad pic.

I THINK it is a late 1BBL carter remanufactured under the holley-II name.
it is NOT for a 1982. it has a wiring harness and a feedback valve so it would have to be a 85-86 carb.

 

Ok i got the carb today, Its not a holley but a ?tech? The only numbers on the carb other than the lot number(21) are
"9771 1982" and 6r-6456-b-1b

 

It doesnt seem to be a rebuilt carter carb either. I cant find any name on the carb anywhere. Only some lot numbers

 

See my gallery for more pics.

Other odd thing about this carb, there sems to be adjustments for idle but no mixture screw

 

Ok i found out its a holley 1946, perfect for a 200, but not a 300 well thats $66 down the drain

 

cars got cumputers before trucks, thats why a 82 might have a feedback carb.


oh well, resell it on ebay

 

Put it up for sale today...

 

Relisted... If any of you guys are interested in it, do a search for "holley ford six" on ebay
