Re: Question for carb experts

Yes they can be hard to tell apart. But Ford was making changes each year, if you know what to look for. When I was first trying to figure out what's what in engine parts this was my go-to website/link... http://www.ford-y-block.com/technical.htm Here's another helpful one... http://www.y-block.info/main.html The block & heads that were in the car (photos 1 & 2) gave the initial impression of being correct for the year '55 (freeze/core plugs in the ends of the heads) even tho the intake manifold and distributor were both '57 versions, a common upgrade. But the EBY ('54 Merc 256) casting number on the block and heads was a dead giveaway (photos #3 & 4) along with 272/312 spark plugs not fitting in the heads. Thanks for the compliment but it's been a trial and error (and error & error) process since this is my first pre 70's Ford, and my first project car in about 30 years. This retirement project of mine has been dragging on a bit too long due to some large honey-do's around here and medical problems with other family members, but it's almost done, at least under the hood. In a valiant attempt to re-rail this 'carburetor' thread the carb in the 2nd photo was an Autolite for a '63 T-Bird 390ci, and the Holley in the last 2 photos is an (ECZ) List# 1273, oem for a '57 312.

Re: Question for carb experts
I read there were 4 different types of my carb for 1957. Since the tag is missing from it is there still a way to figure out which one it could be?

EDIT- I expect this statement to cause some controversy but I had a 57 312 (my first of many) that had the 4000 on it (and the install appeared OEM - no butcher work - why would anyone retrofit). I didn't know what L-O-M was back then (1968). I am trying to find my 57 Service Manual to verify this. So the 57 used the- 1) FORD 4100 2) CARTER AFB 3) HOLLEY 4150 4) HOLLEY 4000 (possibly).

Re: Question for carb experts
KULTULZwhat I meant was that there were four listings for the Ford 4100 carb, B7A-B. B7A-X, ECZ-U andECZ-Z. I found that mine is a ECZ-Z. These letters were stamped on the body of the carb. I think this might narrow down what Ford it was specific to.
The only thing I could find so far using the teapot in 57 were 312 T-birds with superchargers and twin quads.

Re: Question for carb experts
That's why there isn't any tag on the carb. I thought it was missing. The text in the book was a little confusing saying some earlier service models had a tag.

If you notice, even later carbs that came through tagged usually had I.D. Info stamped somewhere on the carb. Quote:
Service usually describes a later SERVICE PART REPLACEMENT whereas FACTORY ASSEMBLY PART means what came through from the factory. This is why (to me anyways) that repair/restoration is so in-concise as all factory info may not be complete and/or incorrect and many that decipher may understand it incorrectly or display it incorrectly which then leads to hearsay issues. One reason I never tried for an OEM CORRECT RESTORATION (other than $$$) as assemblies can differ from one assembly plant to another and among suppliers. Much less, I am already OCD so one would most likely drive me over the edge...

Have you been able to modify your 1957 4100 yet? Below are three shots I found with the ECZ-B Intake and a 1966 4100. I have not been able to find a photo of a 57 312 4100 OEM install yet. All I can figure is that the heater control valve (18495) was moved to the heater hose inlet (@ water pump)and the outlet was connected to the intake with an elbow fitting) as was the 1955 272.

Re: Question for carb experts
Did 57 have a heat control valve? I had a 58 with 332 and don't remember a heat control valve anywhere. May have been removed but it didn't have any extra cables or vacuum lines. Just assumed they controlled temp from 57 year forward on cars with a blend door in the heater box.

See the dia below. The actual control valve (18495 and 18502) was placed inside the heater core box for 1958. Notice the call-out on the description @ the bottom of the Ill, 57/58. This opens another quandary, was the 57 4100 carb equipped YB's control valve moved into the heater control box? The 312 8V intake had a separate outlet coolant supply cast into the intake.

Your illustration of the heater is the same as found in the 57 Ford shop manual. Valve was inside heater cavity. Oldmics |

What you are doing is fine. You are keeping it period correct w/o attempting restoration. It's a driver, correct? What gets me when the hood is popped on a nice looking FORD is seeing a Mr. GASKET ACL HEI DIST, STANT RADIATOR CAP. DIE-HARD BAT and a JIFFY-LUBE OIL FILTER all entangled in cut-up wiring harnesses...

Did you mention somewhere while showing your air cleaner that you were having difficulty finding the correct replacement element? Or am I hallucinating again..

Re: Question for carb experts
Yes, none of the elements are tall enough. I used a few websites that provided filter dimensions to cross reference one that came close which is how I found the Desoto filter. It still isn't a perfect fit.

1958 thru sometime in 1964, the pump covers looked like the picture you posted. 1957 was the first and only year they were "super extended". Starting in late '64 they had an even shorter cover. Sal |

It takes C3VY 9601-A. The measurements are in the text below. -AIR FILTER CROSSING GUIDE- Let me know if they sound correct.

With concentrated ciphering, I found I was wrong and the extended fuel inlet casting was dropped on the 1961 model. The 2nd pump change was in 1964/1965 it seems. I remember selling Accel Pump Diaphrams (C4AZ 9B559-A) that included an extension pin so as to be able to be used with either post 1957 style.

I've even checked Lincoln and Mercury in the past and got no match. I am nearly 100% I have a Ford produced ACL.

A 1957 ACL is shown below 1st - 1958 ACL 2nd - Yours 3rd. See the similarity? I also gave a PN cross-over so you can find an aftermarket filter. What is the ratio, so many gallons of air to a gallon of gasoline?
