The Ford Barn

A friend of mine called and asked me to take a look at a carb for him from his 46 ford pickup. He said that he was having trouble getting the ball out from under the accelerator pump.

I wasn't able to help because I found that it was a one barrel stock carb from a 6 cyl.

At the bottom of the pump hole was what looked like a plate with two 1/16" holes. He said he had removed a lock ring already but couldn't remove the plate to clean or replace the ball.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and add a little to my knowledge bowl.
