Re: Question for carb experts
Henry Ford and George Holley were big buds. The Holley brothers actually produced a car at the same time Henry was working on his 1st car. The lore is Henry took a look at it and immediately made a deal with Holley in which Holley would supply carbs to Henry and not make cars and Ford would not make carburetors except under license from Holley.

Re: Question for carb experts
If you think the 4100 is a good design (and it was), GOOGLE HOLLEY 4010 and see the ultimate 4100.

Re: Question for carb experts
I don't think I've seen a 4010 yet hear of it. Now I know. Thanks.
Here's my air cleaner. I don't know why the 2nd photo uploaded rotated. It appears normally on my computer.

That is a 56 FORD 292 right? I understand the engine sound suppression but it will hold a lot of engine heat around the carb.

Re: Question for carb experts
The carb, intake and air cleaner appear to all be for 1957 to me.

KULTULZ, all of these have been on my 56 with a 292. All have bolted on without any real modifications. I was able to use my original 56 bellcrank. I just needed to add a spacer under on of the bolt holes on the manifold with it bolted on. The other thing was I needed to readjust the accelerator rod that goes from the bellcrank to the carb linkage.

Re: Question for carb experts
Just wondering. My CRS is not allowing me to remember much detail of the period.
This is a 1956 292, right?

Yes, what is pictured is '56 292 or 312. except this one appears to have a later carb on it. '56 was the last year of the Holley 4000 teapot carb on Ford, Mercury and T-bird, except for the '57 dual 4 barrel setups. Sal |

Re: Question for carb experts
Sal, I see the air cleaner looks like a later 56 one because of the air inlet but how can you tell what carb is under it? You must really know your carbs.
I still have my original 56 manifold, teapot and air cleaner. This is what it looked like before I bought my car.

Re: Question for carb experts
Herman,
I can tell it has a different carb because of the fuel inlet location on the front passenger's side of the carb. Teapots had rear fuel inlets. Now after a 2nd look at it it looks like a later '57 intake manifold too because of no adaptor to change the bolt pattern. More than likely a Holley 4150 or 4160 carb, or even a two barrel intake and carb. I also agree I have seen two different 4 barrel air cleaners on '56 Fords. The one pictured and one with no vertical bar in the inlet. Sal |

The '57 4bbl intake manifold is bigger & chunkier looking than the '56 (& '55) 4bbl intake manifolds because it was upgraded with larger passages for the D code 312 engines. The carburetor stud mounting holes are also noticeably closer to the intake runners. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 12-02-2017 at 11:35 AM. |

Re: Question for carb experts
...hmmph...
GOOD CATCH! So, although the photo appears as a dedicated restoration, in reality it is not. One has to be sharp as to what he is purchasing. EDIT- It also appears the carb to be a WCFB it's fuel inlet being where it is.

Re: Question for carb experts
I'm now trying to make mine look like a period correct upgrade since all the parts I've come across are 57's.

Tough crowd, that thing looks nice. I suppose it's not concours, but.

or at least a bit more like it should have been than when I bought it. While I can definitely appreciate a car that's 'original', I'm not that hung up on it unless something is represented as what it isn't. (like the engine in a certain car that was listed in 3 unrelated places as a 292, but was a 256) . Last edited by dmsfrr; 11-23-2017 at 01:18 AM. |

To me, a period piece such as these being discussed should be assembly correct, and although that is actually an impossibility owing to all of the assembly detail/dealer prep/general repair procedures/variances ... well ... hard to explain. There is a huge difference (to me anyways) between someone displaying a dedicated restoration or a modified car. OCD- Correct Alphabetical Order CDO
