Okay, I really would appreciate your part number knowledge to try and ID my carb to purchase the right rebuild kit. Its actually on a 66 mustang, but I couldnt find anything on the web. It seems to be the original autolite 4300 carb, and it has the following stamped on the carb itself:

D0PF-9510-U
LIST-4548-S
064


The metal tag says:
D0PF U
B 0FD

Thank you very much

 

Just take the metal tag with you to where ever you get the kit from.

They can look up the correct kit with that tag.

 

The D0 on the carb tag indicates 1970 which would make it not original. If memory serves me correctly the A code 289 would have used an autolite 4100 and the K code would have used a holley. Don't know what your carb is off of but I am sure number dummy can tell you, but the 4300 isn't the greatest and since its no original you might consider an upgrade to some thing like a holley or an edelbrock. Parts will be a lot easier to find.

Ford replaced dozens of earlier 1V; 2V; 4V carbs in 1969/70, all have D0PF ID numbers.

Y'all cannot always go by ID or part number prefixes to figure what parts fit, because Ford updates 10's of 1000's of part numbers every year.

D0PF-U = C9AZ-9510-AE .. 4V Holley Carburetor (Motorcraft CA689A)

1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog / Carburetor Section 95 / Parts List # 20Z

C9AZ-9510-AE fit various years of: 289/302/352/390/406/427/428/429 engines.

B9AZ9A586E .. Carburetor Kit (Motorcraft CT195A)

C9AZ-9510-AE replaced (and this is only a very small partial list!): COAZ-9510-C; C3AZ-9510-AU; C3AZ-9510-AK; C3AZ-9510-AU; C4AZ-9510-D; C5SZ-9510-A; C5ZZ-9510-M; C6ZZ-9510-B; C7AZ-9510-M; C9AZ-9510-AA.

Now...you can see why I said y'all cannot always go by part number prefixes to ID what parts fit!

Why the Motorcraft part numbers?

In 1972, Ford was forced by the US Gov't to sell Auto-Lite, because they said Ford had a monopoly on autoparts.

When Ford sold Auto-Lite, they started in-house brand Motorcraft, and transfered all the Auto-Lite part numbers over to Motorcraft part numbers.

Even though the carb is a Holley, Ford originally used Auto-Lite part numbers on everything fuel and electrical related.

EDIT: Leave that carb ID tag on the carburetor, just take the number with you to autoparts stores when looking for parts.

If you lose that tag...you'll be SOL!

Most carbs today have no ID tags on them at all, it's just like rear axle ID tags.

Once they were removed, most mechanics neglected to put them back on.

 

So, all I need to get a carb kit is the D0PF-U number? Is this one of those autolite 4300 carbs?

 

No, it's a 1969/70 replacement Holley 4V, and I already gave you the carburetor kit part number.

Here it is again:

B9AZ9A586E (Motorcraft CT195A)

You can go to NAPA or a good indie autoparts store, they can cross the Motorcraft number over to the brands they sell.

Here's a couple of original Ford carb kits:

MILLER OBSOLETE in Binghamton NY has ONE: 800-546-7278.

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has ONE: 615-443-3086.

 

thank you. My local napa ordered me a kit. It was a bit pricey, 39.99, but I assume its pretty complete and decent quality.
Its still cheaper than a new carb, so I cant complain.
