I have a 1966 Bronco that has a 1968 block and a 1970 head. The engine looks to be newly remand, and never been started. After scratching my head trying to find what will work I might know why they never got it running in the last 30 years. The intake carburetor call diameter is one and three-quarter inches which was apparently changed by Ford I think in 1968 because it was originally one and a half inches. The date code on my distributor is 1965. I need to find a carburetor, spacer, and a carburetor that will work on this engine. I have found the carb spacers for the earlier carbs but not the ones for 1968 on. I also need to make sure that the current distributor work with a 1970 carb. I read this on a forum somewhere "Load-o- matic distributor was discontinued and the modern distributor was used. The old Load-o-matic needs to be matched with the proper carb with a special valve for its vacuum source. The modern distributor used a normal ported vacuum source on the carb."
I'm not sure what kind of car this engine came out of. It could've been a falcon or a Mustang or maybe even a bronco but I'm pretty sure it is a 170 because it only has three freeze plugs.
I believe I need an Autolite 1101 carb, but I am not sure on the bore dimension, if it is 1.5 or 1.75.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the engine numbers: Block - C8DE 6015-A Head - D0DE 9F20 Distributor - 1217 C 5JD
I am attaching pictures which hopefully will help.
