Question carb delima

hello everyone! This is my first post ever. I own a 1959 f100. It has a 223 engine. Im restoring it right now, its my first restoration project. I was wondering if anyone knew what carbs would work on my truck, or if there was any out on the market that i could use, on the intake manifold. It is a 2 blot mount. also if there is a bracket to let a 4 bolt mount work.


Please help!

thank u for your help!

Hi Trotskie10,

I'm not sure but I wanted to write something to bump this back to the top tonight. If you don't get any responses write an e-mail to "Col. Flashman" He will know. New folks don't understand the Colonels sense of humor so if his response seems a little "direct," he's just kidding - look for "Smilies."

Good Luck,
Julie

Firsrt welcome to FTE. Quite a place.

Here is a thread that will give you some insight to what carb your truck would have had originally. (click the link below)
I don't have any info on what can be adapted to it but with a little work and imagination probably most anything.
Hope this helps or at least is a starting place for the info you are looking for.

Steve
Let me know how it works out and if the linkage you have is all correct.
It looks like the previous owner might have shortened the short link to the carb to adapt to the present carb.
