Pony carburetor ???
Does anybody know who would have bought out and/or taken over the PONY CARBURETOR CO ??? Or did any of his employees continue in the carb rebuilding business? I am looking to put together a small block Ford tri-carb set up for the 289/302 size engine, and need somebody with knowledge on these set ups. I know they used both the Holley 2bbl and also the Ford 2100 2bbl , I would be looking for either , already have the manifold and linkage, fuel block.
When PONY was still in business they sold and worked on rebuilding these tri-carb set ups. Thanks for any info for me to follow up on. Steve |

Re: Pony carburetor ???
As I understand it, the owner of PONY CARBS passed and the operation was shut down. They specialized in the 2100 conversion.
To the best of my knowledge ... ..., the carbs (2300) are still available from HOLLEY.

Re: Pony carburetor ???
Steve,
Holley makes this set-up with a Chevy small block intake. If your manifold has enough spacing between carbs, I'm sure they probably sell the carbs and linkage separately. Sal https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...rs/multi-carb/ |

Re: Pony carburetor ???
Also, I thought you already had three 2100 carbs from when we talked earlier ? Maybe I'm wrong.

They (2300) are still available from HOLLEY and you can search for the best prices. This vendor also offers all FORD accessories.

As soon as I put one of the outboard carbs on, with the center carb also in position , I can not get it to idle down below 1200 rpm's. I have screwed the air/fuel mixture screws all the way in on the outboard carb and installed a power valve blank in the outboard carbs , yet still no luck on getting it to idle down like it should. I have checked all around the carbs for vacuum leaks and they all check out with no leaks. Kind of at a loss now for what else I can do. One more thing......if I seal off the top of that outboard carb ,( I just ran a couple pieces of duct tape over the air horn) , it will idle down nicely. So I'm thinking the throttle plates are not really closed enough to shut out air/fuel like I need them to. Sal....I'll give you a call sometime tomorrow to discuss further. Steve Open to ideas from any others who have worked with this set up on their 289/302 Ford. |

Where in the world did you stumble across that setup? It appears to be the PONY CARB FORD 2100 setup. You've answered your own question. Most likely the outboard carb(s) are allowing too much air in at idle. You need to ensure the outboard throttle plates are closed @ idle. Also set up with linkages removed. Once you have acceptable idle, then install linkages.

Re: Pony carburetor ???
Thanks for the input.....does anybody have contact info for any of the people that may have branched off on their own after PONY CARBURETOR disbanded a few years ago?
I believe PONY was located in New York. Steve |

Re: Pony carburetor ???
That operation is long gone. Maybe a TECH he had working for him is still around but I have not heard of anything.
The photo(s) of the setup you posted, is it yours?

Re: Pony carburetor ???
I don't know if you did this or not, But you need to bring idle down evenly at all three carbs.
