Thanks for the help

1954/56 Y blocks used the 4V Holley 'teapot' carb. The teapot and its intake manifold mounting holes are different than the 1957 and later 4V manifolds that used the Holley 4V 'double pumper.'
ECZ-9425-A is not the manifold's part number, it's the casting number which cannot be cross referenced to a part number, so I have no idea what year it's for.
Odd duck: 1955 272/292 4V: The automatic choke is mounted on the intake manifold, not on the carburetor!

All of the intakes with the "A" after the casting # that I have seen have the small carb pattern. Modern 4 bbls won't work on those. They were for early Y blocks as ND said.
I have one of them you can have if you really want one.

The only carb that will fit it...is the gawd awful
Holley teapot. Where will you find one and the apropos linkage?The following is the carb you want. This carb (and intake manifold) were introduced in 1957.
4V manifold: 1957 Ford/Mercury/Thunderbird 292/312 - 1958/61 Mercury 312.
The Holley 4V double pumper is EZ to find as it was also used on cars with 289/352/390/406/427.
EDIT: See post 9 for the teapot.

Scott, you want the ecz-9425-b , fits the modern carbs. You'll also want to change your distributor to the 1957 and up style so you have centrifugal advance and vacuum advance. I have 3 of those b intakes I'm in Pa. Dennis
