Any idea what year?

Looks like a H motor, 47 to 51 going by the vacuum port but it looks big.. Might also work on the 215, not sure which carburetor they used

Could it be from an early T-Bird? The guy I bought a bunch of parts from, had T-Birds.

Re: What model is this Ford Carburetor from?
 

Not a t-bird . Is there ant number on the float side ?

Re: What model is this Ford Carburetor from?
 

No, there are no numbers that I can see.

Re: What model is this Ford Carburetor from?
 

Too much paint on it. There might be numbers under the paint. The 226 H with a load-o-matic judging by the vacuum port.

The 215 used the glass bowl Holley.

I'll clean it up and see if I can find any numbers.

I don't think it's for an H engine, though. Looking at a 7HT carb for my '48 F-1 with an H engine, the vacuum port is smaller and is halfway up the lower aluminum section - not in the cast iron bottom. It is threaded into the aluminum and doesn't have a brass fitting. And it comes in straight from the side, not at an angle. There is a boss in that area, but it's not drilled. Also, the idle jet screw is located in a slightly different location where there is no boss on my carb. There may be a model designation on the opposite side of the float bowl from the Ford script, although there's nothing visible in the pics. So, I'd be suspicious of an H engine application since the location of the vacuum port will have a major impact on the operation of the Loadomatic distributor. At any rate, it should be compared with a G series carb to confirm my observations. If it's for an H, it's for a passenger car, since the trucks have a different top. Hope I haven't confused the issue!! I'm interested in the comments from others!!

Try posting these pics on the Early V8 web site where Ken CT can see them.

That carburetor is a Holley 847, fitted to the Ford 1941 -1947 6cyl engines.
Photos show one fitted to a 1932 Ford V8 Engine and they work very well too.

Most of the early Ford G 6-cylinder carbs (1GA) don't use a vacuum port since they had the old style vacuum brake distributor. The 5GA might have that port but I don't know for sure since I can't find one. I found an H type for Load-O-Matic set up that has the port relocated higher up on the body so it could use venturi vacuum instead of manifold vacuum. It may be a connection for a Southwind heater or maybe windshield wiper. It also may have been for industrial use. The 4-cylinder carbs were usually side or updraft types for those few 9N pickups with a 4-banger.

If anyone needs this carb, I would make you a good deal!
