I’m not sure which one it is, but there are multiple available. You think I’d do better with a 240 or 200? I imagine they are higher CFM and jetted differently, which might help with power a bit.Econoline":2ohtzd1d said:That's a good move if you have a 1/4" drive distributor imo. It's better and easier to just go to a 200 if you want a non LoM setup. Is the 1100 replacement carb a 200 carb or a 170 carb? You could try a 240 LoM 1100 carb as well. If you need to make or modify an adapter it will be relatively easy, or you can just buy it from Vintage Inlines. My 170 would run out of breath with it's 1100 at about 65-68 mph with a 3.5:1 rear axle. Somewhere around 3800-4200 rpm depending on conditions. You could put your foot in it and hear it when you reached it's limits, it just couldn't move anymore air. It wanted to, but that carb and small log have their limits.
One of these days Holley is going to release a 1 barrel sniper. I think they'd sell. Esp if you could run how ever many in series.
Check out this link. It pertains for the autolite 2100, but its an option.chad":1hw8dixt said:"...new head on isn’t an option right now..."
yes, sorry, not a clear writer. I meant
"...in the (distant) future."
There have been re-bush kits to stop that leak in fleebay.
How bout a new acc. pump same time?

Yeah, the venturi's get larger as they go up the engine line. The jet's are available from mikes carb and maybe elsewhere if the larger 1100 is jetted to rich for the 170. It sounds like you are just frustrated with 'this' carb you have and just want to stop fiddling with the damned thing. I get the sentiment. It goes along with using carbs this old and modern fuel doesn't help either.
