Ford 240/300 I6 stock 1bbl intake manifold
I recently posted about a Ford 240 industrial that I purchased.
Got it running yesterday but not without some issues. Need to deal with leaking freeze plugs and blow by.
Question about the intake manifold. The carb mounting studs are 2 3/4" on center instead of 3" on center. There is an adapter plate on the intake manifold... see my surgery on the adapter plate to clear carb throttle plate clearance. I've looked at many images of the stock intake manifold for late 60s and early 70s f100s and I don't see any adapter plate. I assume the stock 1bbl intake had 3" on center carb studs. Can someone confirm this? Also, I'm looking for a 3" on center 1 bbl intake manifold... anyone have one taking up space?
Thx

I cannot help you with the carberator problem but one thing I have experience on is Ford Marine and Industrial engines. If you ever need to replace the starter check that the centering hole in the dust shield is the same size as the replacement starter. They are usually smaller than the auto application. What will happen if they do not match is the flywheel teeth will get damaged.
When I had my marine repair shop I saw this happen a few times.

Thanks for the marine info.
Does anybody know when the 240/300 i6 went from a 2.65" carb stud to 3" carb stud?
I'd like to get rid of the adpater and mount the carb directly on the intake manifold.
Thx
