Default Re: Replacing Teapot carb on 1956 T-bird

Sorry, but the numbers matching ship has sailed a long time ago. I bought this bird as a driver without the original engine. I also found they replaced the original manual transmission with a Fordomatic (and of course not one from a T-bird). The worst thing was I found out the non-original 292 the owner told me was in it was actually a 239 Y-block from a 1954 car.

I’m trying to put it back to more correct components although not numbers matching. The Fordomatic came from a 1956 T-bird that the owner was converting to a C4. The engine is a remanufactured 292, but later than a 1956.
