The Ford Barn - View Single Post - preferred 2 barrel Y-block intake manifold?

The 54/55/56 2-bbl intake manifolds are each different, but will accept a variety of "bugsprayer" type carbs of the era (Ford EBU, Holley 2100, Holley 2110, ECG, etc) as the 3-bolt pattern on each is identical. These are all load-o-matic intake manifolds and must be used with original distributor and load-o-matic style carb as listed above.
The '54 car intake will not fit on an engine with 272, 292 heads. The 1956 intake manifold is the only one that has provision for automatic choke.
The 1957 and later intake manifolds are for use with distributors with mechanical advance and matching carburator.
