Re: problem to start
That works out to about 13 miles per gallon, not spectacular. My Mercury with a mostly stock 292 and 500 cfm 4 barrel gets in the upper teens/low 20s on the highway in overdrive. I think you could improve your fuel consumption with the proper carburetor. This somewhat depends on the type of driving you do. City driving consumes more fuel.

Re: problem to start
Ted Eaton has a modification for using 4-bbl teapot carb with '57 and later mechanical advance distributor, but I never heard of anybody offering a proven fix for modifying ECG 2-bbl "bugsprayer" type carb to use with mechanical advance.
Don't even bother trying to read Ted's article. The 4-bbl teapot is a complicated animal and completely different from the 2-bbl carbs. Your options to get the engine operating properly: 1) Keep ECG carb and go back to using original Load-o-matic distributor. 2) Keep the '57 or later distributor and replace your intake manifold/carburator and associated linkage with a '57 or later Y-block setup. 3) Keep both your carb and dizzy and find a modification that will operate the advance in the dizzy properly.

Re: problem to start
BTW, replacement vacuum cans for the old load-o-matic distributors have not been offered by repro parts suppliers the last few years, so if that is a problem in your old dizzy, swapping back to the old dizzy is not an option.

But if you swap, you must get associated gas linkage & bellcrank as these are different from the '56 ECG setup. I don't have picks of anything newer than '56. |

2 barrel carburetor ? If I remember correctly, the '57+ 2bbl carb to intake manifold bolt pattern is 4 bolts, not 3. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 10-11-2020 at 10:51 PM. |

Re: problem to start
56yblock,
Go to Ted Eaton Balancing on the internet and it will show you how to modify your carburetor for your distributor. Hope this helps. |

Re: problem to start
Are there any Noticeable, significant gains by modifying the carb per Ted Eatons instructions. anyone on here have done the modifications and can tell us what improvements they realized. The reason I ask is my 56 292 with 2bbl ecg carb and post 57 dizzy has been working flawlessly for the past 38 yrs. I get around 15-16 mpg with an o/d transmission and 3.73 rear end. Not sure if that’s good or bad but it’s what it is. I have a 56 f100.

Re: problem to start
The style of choke (manual or automatic) has nothing to do with whether the carburetor is a Loadomatic or not. "Loadomatic" has to do with the special internal passage in the carburetor that would be connected to the vacuum advance diaphragm on the Loadmatic distributor, which is advanced only by vacuum from the carburetor and lacks centrifugal advance weights. Your 1957 distributor has both vacuum and centrifugal advance and is not really compatible with the Loadomatic carburetor as the vacuum signal from the carburetor is too weak for the 1957 distributor.

If you modify your ECG 6 2 barrel carb per the procedure posted above, using a '57 distributor, you will get even better than 15 - 16 MPG since you will have more spark advance at part throttle light loads, which makes for less throttle opening for the same power. Sal |

Re: problem to start
Thanks Sal, I’ll have to think about this before I tear into a perfectly working carb and modify it.

If it starts easily while cold but is difficult to re-start hot, then wellcraft17 is correct. It is called heat soak. Temp rises, the fuel expands and if the pressure is not relieved at the pump check valve, it floods the carb. Ethanol laced gasoline also has a much lower boiling point. You also have to perform the upgrade Daves55Sedan showed you. The two systems (LOAD-O-MATIC and DUAL ADVANCE} are not compatible.

Re: problem to start
Tell ya another thing you need to do if you are going to keep the ECG carb. Get one of those phenolic spacers to install between intake manifold and carb. You will need another gasket and longer carb mounting studs.
So it goes like this: New gasket on intake manifold Phenolic spacer on top of gasket. New gasket on top of spacer Carb on top of new gasket. If you do this, it will help to keep fuel from getting too hot and expanding, possibly end the problem with flooding |
