Then, for now I will go on with my feelings that Ford Motor Company never offered Carted carbs on the Ford and Mercury 260 HP kits. Not saying some racers back in the day didn't decide to use Carter carbs for a performance advantage.
There is already a lot old documentation saying the kits used Holley 4000 carbs (LIST# 1268) which were unique for the kits. Never used by Ford for anything else.

Sounds like your not willing to share your information saying otherwise whether it be documented in writing or not, would still be very interesting for at least me and Oldmics. Not trying to argue here. Just open to all info.
