We use the 1.08 Autolite carb on MM as required by NHRA/IHRA rules.
Rules dictate OEM carb that was originally available on engine claimed!


Unless you have a GM car (Edelbrock replacement Q-Jets and non computer carbs on computer engines), Mopar car (Jimmy Carter Competition Series replacments), or a 67 Shelby GT-500 (bogus letter from Carroll Shelby).

I figured you were running the 1.12(625?). So basically it's like they're forcing you to run a restrictor plate. What a bummer!

How do the secondaries work on these things?
I found one in a junkyard without a tag on it. Bought it for $25. Looks like it had a recent rebuild, and has a C6 and a 1.08 cast on the side. Sure are some tiny butterflies!

They are vacuum operated.
The secondary diaphram is at the back of the main body.
It looks like a big accelerator pump.
There is a long thin rod that connects from a lever on the diaphram to the secondary linkage on the passenger side of the carb.

ooooohhhh, I think I know who you're talking about Alex. Did they used to run a 351 71 'stang?

BTW, you have any write-ups on 4100 mods? I have a couple that I'd like to play around with......

I like the looks of this carb. Should make for a very sweet alternative to a 2 barrel. Nice oversized boosters and dedicated idle circuits should really be efficient. It could definately stand to lose some fat in some areas to optimize airflow though. Looks like Ford had a better idea way back then. Shame they didn't stick with it longer and make a big 4100 mechanical DP. They look way better than a Holley except for size.

Actually they did.
FoMoCo engineer went to work for Holley and designed both DP and vacuum versions in the late 80's.
They are great carbs.

Yes.
Virtual 4100 Autolite duplicates, only better.
Tony and I met the engineer at Memphis in 1988 and had a long conversation with him about the carbs.

What are those little tubes for, that extend down into the front and rear boosters? Are they necessary.
The only numbers I could find on my carb are 6Z E on the ear just below the 1.08 casting. I had to be either a Mustang, Falcon, or Fairlane, right?

They are signal sensing tubes.
It is probably a 66 low compression 352 carb.

Yeah, very familiar.
Looks like most 1960 and up automatic choke, manual trans 1.08 Autolite carbs.

I didn't even bother to think that there were versions for auto tranny, manual choke. I grew up around Rochester, Carter, and later Holleys, and these are a lot different.
I checked out the Pony carb website and had no idea they charge $120 just for a core and $310 for a restoration!
