Holley 4180C
I originally posted this in the Bronco forum but then decided it would be better here so...
Can anyone give me the specs on it? I'm in the market for a new carb. I'm wondering if it's a dual feed or what? If I were to buy this carb which is a single feed

Would it work on my engine?
I've got a 351 H.O.
fixed

Basically you have a 4160 series type carb that was specially built by holley for Ford. It was specially tuned and configured for your stock motor, and has all the ports needed for the hoses. If you want a new carb, any of the 4160's will work. My favorite is the List #1850 600 cfm with the manual choke. You can upgrade to the electric choke too. This carb will bolt to your manifold. Your carb is not a dual feed, since it has only one fuel line connection. The 750cfm has the dual feed, but it's a little large except for a modified motor.
You can also run the edlebrock style carbs too. They will bolt up, and though I have never run one, people have had good success with them.
Be aware though, that the above carbs are not emissions certified. In other words they will work fine, but may not have all the necessary ports to hook everything back up original.

You have an automatic choke now(if it's original). It will be electric or hot-air electric or just hot air. Anyway, a manual choke version will require you to buy a cable that you mount under the dash(sort of like an old lawnmower throttle cable). It never breaks, and gives some people the satisfaction of having control of what's going on(like manual 4x4 hubs and such). The only drawback is if your wife or somebody else trys to drive it from a cold start, they will have to be instructed on how to use it.
The electric choke will have to be hooked up. You run a wire from the choke on the carb to under the dash to a place in the fuse box that has 12 volts when you turn the key on.
Some guys on here have reported you can use the original factory choke wire too. It is black/white and is hooked to the back of the alternator. It doesn't put out as much voltage, so the choke takes longer to open, but apparently it still works good enough.
