Hey gang it might be fun to talk about and share pictures of unusual carburetor choices on Flathead Ford engines. I’m really talking about anything other than the normal 3 bolt 94 Holley/Fords and Stromberg 97’s.

I’ve looked on several occasions at some Italian “Vee” engine’s with their Weber and Del’Orto carbs and thought hmmmm???

Carbs like those ^^^ are often designed for 60 degree V6’s and V12’s which have narrow intake manifolding like our Fords.

So I’m curious if any of you have strayed from the beaten path. I’ll bet there’s a few that have used a Rochester 2GC, another good one.

What about Autolite 2100’s and 4100’s that came on small Ford V8’s in the 60’s.

Let it rip fellas if you have anything to say about this. Very interested to hear what you’ve done or plan to do in the future.

Thanks!
