I need a carb...
Is ebay the only place I could find a replacement carb? And how do I know which carb I have? It doesn't say on the VIN.
I have a 86 f150, 2wd, Auto (C6) with dual tanks.
Any help finding out what carb I have would help, but where I could by a replacement one would be good too! Thanks guys!

I looked your truck up at www.partsamerica.com, and it looks like your truck came with a carter yfa 1 bbl carb. They have them for around $265.00

Guess I'm just cheap hearted....
I would spend a weekend making the parts to rebuild one before I paid that for a 1bbl carb...but there again, that is me and not you.

Well for one, the electronics don't work. Two, I want to put a new one on there. And I did rebuild this one, but its pretty much to far gone...

/body of the carburetor. Everything else is included in the rebuild kit.
As far as the electronic components are concerned, each part is just a simple potentiometer with a fixed scale set of values. This is not rocket science. Each feedback device either works or not. Each device can be checked on a bench with a power source / battery and a VOM meter.
There is no guarantee that a brand new carburetor will work on a system with bad connectors, or broken frayed wires to the control module.
My point is a thorough troubleshoot procedure first to determine exactly what needs to be replaced and what needs to be repaired.

What's it doing? I hate to admit it, but if it was mine I think I would ditch the electronics too(if you can get away with it at inspection time). But to get rid of the electronics requires quite a bit of work in itself, since it requires a new distributor and module be wired up, plus the proper non-electronic carb.
