Default Ford Carb for flathead ID

On the carb it says Ford
There is a 1 1/16
and a model
EC

Does this carb give good fuel volume or will it put down the road @ 45?
Is it a 48 81 or 97 or?
I am looking for the most get for the go using a stock 32 Ford engine with single exhaust. I will change the intake but it will still be single carb.

Thank you

It is a Ford /Holley 2V for mid 50s y-blocks. A bit larger than the standard 94. It isn’t an81,97, or 48. Those are strombergs.

The EC was a mid 50s Y-block Ford/Holley model. It is a big bigger than the 94. The 81, 97, 48 models were Strombergs.


Hmm, first reply didn’t show up right away.

If it has a manual choke, it's probably for a '55 272. If an automatic choke, then it's for a '56 272.
