Read the info from the following link carefully so you won't burn up your AOD.

Franklin2 is right. The TV adjustment on an AOD is critical. Incidently, The "carb with wires on it" that you are talking about is probably a fuel injection throttle body and you'd never get it to work on that truck without a computer and a bunch of trouble. BUT don't throw it away yet. Pay close attention to how the TV linkage attaches to and works on it and make it work the same way on the 2 bbl. You might be able to steal some of the parts off of it to do this.

 

My wife's truck, '77 f-100 2wd, needed a motor. I went to the local yard and found a 302 w/Metric AOD behind it. I have no interest/time to keep the BS Motocrap carb with wires on it. The Question is: can I run this motor and tranny combo with a regular 2bbl carburetor? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

 

I don't think you will have any problems my 79F100 is a 302,2bbl with a metric AOD (C5 is what i have been told it's called) and i love it espically on the highway

Thank you very much for the promptness. Much appreciated!

 

if you are interested in going with a 4bbl and the aod. i can help with the tv cable set up. re post if interested. the beauty as mentioned is the highway performance. i have been using a aod behind a 4 bbl on a 302 for nearly 8 years.

 

I've got one of those metric AODs from an '80 Tbird 302 application, it was my brother-in-laws car, I think it was a carb Motorcraft 2300 series, this trans says "metric" on the pan, it looks alot like a C4, will it stand up for use in a F150 behind a 302, that rarely carries, or pulls anything, looks like it will just bolt up in place of a C4, is this right???

 

I done a 1980 t-bird 2150-aod converstion, The AOD needs a no-go Yo-yo valve body shift kit to make it run way better
