Question Re: '54 / '55 Fordomatic ID ?

Quote:
The '54 Merc 256 EBY engine in the car had a '57 tach drive distributor, '57 ECZ-B intake and an Autolite carb from an FE 390 when I got it. It didn't run well at all. Maybe a vacuum leak from the mis-matched intake manifold?
I forgot about the car history, as I forget almost everything now ...

So the engine was documented (CASTING ID - DATE CODES) as a 256 EBY?

Regarding the ECZ-B intake, were there any vacuum leaks as while the EBY was a CF design, it also had the smaller heads.
