Another carb question

[frogmn666]

Can I use a Carter 6-1902 with stampings of 0-2037 on my 66, Mustang, 200, I6, auto? The base bores are 1 7/16" or 36mm and the venturis are ~1". I used it on my Honda V65 blown sandrail, but it didn't supply enought air flow to get over 5 pounds boost. The base is 4 X 2 9/16" and it is 4 5/8" tall.

I can fab an adapter and linkage to make it work with the float bowl to the front since aftermarket ones won't possition it correctly with enough hood space.

How do I post an image?

To post an image, put it up on a free hosting site like www.photobucket.com, then put the link to it inside the tags here.

About the carb, I have no idea - I suppose anything is possible, but I don't know which carb that is.

How does a too small carb keep one from making boost? Or was it draw through...

 

[frogmn666]

It was mounted on top of the blower and was too small to allow enough air to be drawn in.

I don't see why this wouldn't work on a `66 200. I had one like it on my 54 Ford with a 239cu.in V8 in it.
The three vacuum ports on the back all go to the base, and the one on the side goes to venturi vacuum.
It's a manual choke, but there are two screws behind the linkage that might be where an auto choke
mechanism goes. That would be nice.

That looks like a BBD. The Slants had them as an option.

If you can get the clearance with all parts of the carb against your rocker cover, it ought to work fine.

Rut-Row... It may be close, but I can build an off-set manifold.

That reminds me of the Holley "Bugspray" carb I had on my '72 Super Beetle (back in the 70s). Although it was used on Beetles at that time, it was originally a Ford flathead carb.

BTW: Who hogged out those carb mounting holes???

 

[frogmn666]

I think it is the same as the Bugspray. The flat-head carb was three bolt.
I hogged out the mounting holes to fit the blower manifold on my Honda 1100 V65 mini Sandrail. That's what thick washers are for.

Any ideas of what manifold I can use to aim the float bowl to the front? I can make my own, but would prefer a bolt-on.
