Another 69' Head Mod-2100 Carb

[66200i6]

I was introduced to a welder that routinely work at repairing cast and Aluminum blocks and heads.

This includes custom intakes for all types of Hot Rods.

The pics below shows the result and the planned carb after installation on my 63' Falcon.

This is a Power Plate. There are two threaded ports that accept hose fittings which uses the coolant to heat the plate. The cones are "Vortex" cones. They are designed to create a vortex which mixes the air-fuel mixture. The last time I played with this plate I had to drop the fuel jet 1 and 1/2 sizes to get back to the correct ratio.

This is an 1.02 size Autolite 2100 with manual choke.

I only wonder how long it will take to put together, Ric.

looks dang good.

If anything , I have a problem with my carb getting too warm at the drag strip. Perhaps a device with water flow through it would help my problem?

That warming plate on the 200 isn't just for warming. It also keeps the temp at a consistent level; high but consistent. Namely the temp of your coolant. Might help when you are running at high/hot revs.

That looks very pro!!!!

Actually the coolant is to add heat through the plate and aid in the vaporization of the air-fuel mix. Combined with the vortex created it provides power and mileage.

We will see, Ric

Obviously you know more about this than I do. The question comes up frequently when when some of the guys have disconnected it and they get heat soak and fuel boiling.

I'm still very impressed by your setup.

Sweet! If you dont mind me asking, what does a job like that run? That is one of the better ones I've seen. The one I have in my garage was done with some sort of epoxy.

Ronbo, not at all, this job cost about $320. I think it is a bit high but it took additional time to review each step. I told Dave that others would be interested in the same work.

Aluminum Head Welding is located in Auburn, Washington. Dave Day started it years ago and they work mainly on the big block high horsepower stuff like Hemi's.

Ludwig, as far as the plate goes, I haven't seen it installed any where else. It's not a stock part. This plate was made by an outfit in Montana about 15 years ago. I had purchased over a dozen different types of plates after I played around with one he had loaned me. This thing really works. After about a year in business, he disappeared. I haven't seen anything like it since. But I think you’re correct, I will have to add an insulator to keep the carb cooler or it will boil.

Are you planning to use head studs cuz it doesn't look like you will be able to get the head bolt in the hole right next to the adaptor?

 

[66200i6]

Good, eye.

ARP studs are really to best way to go for good torque readings. I need to take a better look at that location. I may have to hog that edge to match the 2100 footprint so I can get a better angle when applying torque.

Thanks, Ric.

Wooo! Thats a pretty fair price for that kind of work, especially if he did the milling too? I wouldn't be able to find a shop in this part of Georgia that would even touch that. Nice! Best of luck with the rest of the build. I'm looking forward to hearing the results.
