Hey all, need some expert help. I have a 1964 Ford Econoline falcon with a 170 co inline 6. It has the Holley 1940 carb. I just got it and the back story is it sat for 6 years and now I got it and want to make a surf van. After doing a bunch of electrical stuff to get it to crank, now no spark. Instead of fighting with that I thought this would be a great opportunity for an hei. From what I read this engine beggs for a bigger carb and better spark.
Ok so my problem is I don't know if this is load o matic or not, but I don't see the flower shaped screw in valve that I usually see on them. The vacuum to the dist comes off the top portion of the carb right now.
Additionally, it sounds like they made this engine with two different size distributor shafts, no idea how to check.
Photos included of my current carb and the distributor id like to put in, along with description. Hopefully it allows me to uplod all this!
-edit; can't get it to upload photos. Sorry
