Question Motor craft Carb. replacement

How many other Bronco owners who were stuck with Fords Varbil Venture 2bbl. Carb. have replaced it with a Holly direct replacement Carb.?

And if so have you had any problems using gas with 15%+ ethanol?

I personally prefer autolite 2100's for a 2bbl,much cheaper and simpler to work on. should bolt on, but you might need to do some minor changes to you fuel line and possibly have some vacuem lines to deal with.

as for the ethanol, your carb will need to be jetted to flow more due to ethanols lower volitality. but the big deal is that the ethanol will eat up any rubber in your fuel system, you would need to replace your fuel pump, any rubber fuel line's, and the plastic float in your card with a brass one.
