65 Mustang
Well-known member
Hello Everyone. Looking to upgrade my Autolite 1100 to a Carter YF. I am running a 200 inline six on a 1965 mustang. The distributor I’ve been using is not a load-o-matic. It is a dual advance from a ‘68 block. Also, the intake was bored out to 1.70 years ago when I got my cylinder head rebuilt. Below is a link to a Carter YF that I saw on Amazon. I believe this one is for an emissions car. I am drawn to it, however, because it has an electric choke. If you look at the front of the carburetor, you will notice a connection to the right of where the fuel filter connects. I assume a hose gets connected to that for an emissions car. Does anyone know if this carburetor can be used on a non-emissions car? If so, would that connection simply get plugged? I do see YFs being sold on Amazon without that connection. Those, like I mentioned before, do not seem to come with an electric choke, however. One last question: does anyone know of a company that sells a carb adapter that can connect a Carter YF to a 200 inline six? If not, I can have one made up at my local machine shop. Thank you all in advance.
