nope its for a V6 not for an inline, I only know because my dad has one.

While helping a friend shop for a used car -I noticed that there were lots of ads the said the vehicle has a "straight-V6". Since no American and very few imports use inline six's anymore, people simply no longer know what an inline engine is. I imagine a similar condition existed in the 50's when the straight 8's disapeared.

Well, it's a 5200, and it could have been on an adapter.
Or, it's off one of those mythical "police" versions.
Or, more likely, the car was probably a 4cyl.

according to advance autoparts this straight 6, 76 mustang is non existant... and the carb looks identical to the one my dads has on it, I was hoping it would bolt up to my head and make it so that I might get a little better gas mileage, but no such luck.

Doesn't the 5200 have the same bolt pattern as the 2300?

8) nope, two different bolt patterns. the 5200 is smaller than the 2300.

looking at the surface the aircleaner would seal on the carberator it shows to be a 77-80 carb....most likely a mustang II or a Pinto/Bobcat...2.8 V 6's did come with these.....same carb as the 2.3l its a holley made webber

Ask any Pinto guy..

There are 15 listings of different 5200 series Holley Weber carb made in America for Autolite/Motorcraft. The Capri/Mustang ran the same Pinto2.0/2.3 carb on most if its 2.8 V6's, turned about 90 degrees.

Good, cheap way of finding a good 5200 carb. My Aussie Cortina runs that same German external emission package on its DGAV 32/36 Weber carb as the US manual transmission cars.

The only difference between the 5 million US 5200 carbs, and any of the 5 million Eurpoean Sierras, Cortina, Taunus, Capri, Escort, Transit Van and Granadas?

It ran ableed off the return fuel line,
a small change in the air horn shape
the postion of the water or electric choke was on the other side
and where the primary and secondary venturi is was reversed, so fat fingered mechanics didn't have to rip the whole thing off to service the automatic choke.

Everything else interchanges.

There was a federal emissions legal 5200 carbed in line 3.3 according to one internal Ford source, but it never got released to the public. Year was 1981, and there were a host of scenarios Ford was playing over after the Iranian revolution. Somewhere in Dearborn, there will be a manila file of the adaptor, the emissions package, the official BPN listing, and complying Federal emissions certification.

If we find that, we can slap 5200 carbs on any I6 3.3 engine.

That's interesting about the "non-released" 5200 on 3.3L engines, because from 1979-1982 there was a security company here in Denver that built "police interceptor" Fairmonts, under Ford guidance (Ford has a hi-altitude lab here). These cars pop up now and then in the many parking-lot "car shows" that are popular here. They are 3.3L inlines, no doubt about it, with Ford air filter boxes and H/W 32/36 carbs inside. They all have auto trans, 3.00:1 differentials, ram-air that comes from a specially-shaped plastic box that comes out sideways, next to the radiator (much like the LTD and T-Bird of the same era), and a machined adapter that fits the EGR valve and the H/W carb, but is only 1/2" tall over the manifold. This necessitated a special EGR pipe, because the EGR valve is mounted BELOW the centerline of the adapter, and a little toward the passenger side's outside fender. The 1981-2 models had a VERTICAL EGR valve and the adapter plate was almost 8" across, mounting the valve in plain sight (and blocking starter removal, so I hear) which removed some of the heat from under the air cleaner's box.

Now that I've bought a digital camera, I haven't seen one. One of these days, I'm gonna get a pix of one and post it for all the "bigfoot" naysayers on this site...

I've been trying to get my hands on one for myself for almost 4 years, now...
