2 BARREL CARBURETOR ON 200 CI ford six? Can anyone identify from pictures?
- Thread starter RobRod
- Start date
Looks like its a Weber or a copy of one.
probably a 'progressive' 2bbl Weber 32/36 or Holley/Weber 5200 clone licensed from Weber. Also could be bigger Weber 38/38 if engine is built up.

The 5200 progressive can be a good match for the small block six:
... the progressive 2 barrel carbs' are the pricey Weber 32/36 and Holley/Weber version - H/W5200. The 5200 series progressive is widely available inexpensively having been used on many small 4cyl. engines and V6's thru 70's/80's. Most available "list numbers" or applications' jetting' are for small displacement four cyl's and a lower CFM than the small block six needs . THe 32/36 and 5200 are easily re-jetted though, and if you search here you will find a lot of discussion on getting them tuned for different engine configurations. I've run a H/W5200 from a Capri 2800cc (170cid) V6 application "list#" on a 170 through a simple $15 2X1 adapter for @ 15 years. It yields smooth idle and excellent performance and economy but it took two carbs and help to get there ...

I appreciate all of your responses. I bought the engine complete, just pulled from a 65 Mustang. Didn't even notice carb when I bought it. If it is the weber, I got my moneys worth right there.

I agree. Nice find! A gentle suggestion: When you get it going, replace the air filter with one with more filter surface area. That one is a high-flow media, and may be sufficient in flow, but the high-flow media filters like K&N do not filter as well as the paper elements. I got rid of a K&N after finding fine dust in the airhorn after a few months of use.
Was the filter oiled?
I am also considering a K&N but for me a clean intake is more important than little more flow...
Yes sir, I serviced it per their instructions, had the pint squirt bottle of red K&N filter oil. . I should edit the above slightly, it was probably a year using the filter, removed it for a metering rod swap and there was dust residue. Very fine, slightly oil-sticky. Obviously a concern for engine internals, but equally unhealthy for carb air bleeds, etc. .
Truck is not operated in "dusty conditions" either. Maybe 5 miles on dirt road, and I back out of a 20' dirt driveway. Otherwise, all street.
I used to run a K & N on my 94 F150 4.9 for a year or so, I also stopped using it since they can transfer some oil into the EFI system also.
Ok then if you want to know anymore on what Carb that you have then you will need to supply more details. Either find it's Carb ID Numbers, the best way and or take some better very close up pictures of it. Good luck

Hi RobRod, and thank you very much for the great detailed pictures! Congratulations you have a very good RedLine Weber in my OPIN they are about the best company to get a new Genuine Weber Carb from in the US. They are one of the two companies that I prefer to only deal with. The very best Weber Carb's are only made in Spain, and yours is one of those. The Weber's like this are one of the most copied Carbs with many a cheap knock offs being made in many other places over the world it pays to know what to look for. Yours is a Weber DGEV172-1321, this is a 32 / 36 Progressive Carb with an Electric Choke. Here is the link to Redline that shows that Carb listing its details (it's one of 4 versions made in that size). http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Types/making_the_right_choice.htm
There are some more Weber DGEV172-1321 details here in this link. http://www.redlineweber.com/html/application_guide/making_the_right_choice_32.htm
Here is also an Internal Parts Diagram of the Weber 32 / 36 DGEV172-1321
Now all you need to do is ID the Distributor that you have in the 200 Engine to see if its a good match for the Weber. Best of luck with your Ford 200 Six project.

My bad. .
Yes sure enough right now it looks like "The Bridge To No Where"! Will need to see the on the other side of the Engine at the Front to know where that Big Vacuum Line is going from around the back of the head were its hooked up too. Also not so sure that's even a 200 Six, what is the Block & Heads Design Number's a full picture on the exhaust side and top rear of the Heads Intake Manifold please would help with that too?
Yes that PCV Hook up sure isn't doing anything for that engine!
