200ci Can anyone recomend a 2 barell carburator with adapter kit for my 200 inline 6 cylinder mustang

This applies only to 200ci
That is a big advantage. Clifford performance installs the custom jets and basically has the carburator tuned. Does that member Bill do the same thing? Would you recomend the 32/36 or the 34/36?
I do not have experience with Weber carbs and was not aware of the 34/36. What I have heard consistently about the Weber is they are really great performance carbs when tuned properly and it takes a bit of work to get them tuned. So if Clifford or someone with a lot of experience can set it up that would be a very attractive option.
 
if you want to keep it simple for now, an adapter and carb from most similar displacement engine carburetors will work fine.
.
the advantage of the 32/36 and Holley knock'off 5200 series 2bl's is that they are progressive linkage carbs. basically the '32' 'primary' side is smaller than original 1Bbl offering greater throttle response and economy at low flow rates -THEN with increased throttle, the 'secondary' (36) barrel contributes needed fuel and air flow for higher RPM flow rates. Opening secondary can give a 'kick in pants' feel to pedal like 4Bbl WOT..
.
universal and inexpensive Holley '2300 series' 4412 500CFM and 7448 350CFM 2 bbl's can even work but the large venturi's and small six flow rates can cause poor response and horrible fuel consumption. Apply caution in attempting use of any large CFM over-optomistic carbs for small six use.
.
balance between keeping intake vacuum and carb working for performance and/or economy is a key part of fuel and the ignition timing equation.

have fun

Interesting, on your Webber mounting, did the adapter you used dictate the carb orientation? Yours is mounted with throttle linkage towards the rear. Is towards the front an option? My adapter has the linkage on the passenger side ( easy hook up ). It probably would mount with the linkage on driver side but would make linkage hook up a pain, I didn’t even try it.
Bottom line, different adapters = different carb orientation??
 
Yes sir. He is a decades-experienced distributor tuner, and tunes the curves specific to the engine application. He solved my detonation problems on a 300. 100% pro.
That's great, how do I find his seller items.
Thanks for the info

hey Don:
.
different H/W' 5200's have different linkage arrangements. The carb in pic on the '63 is OEM 70's Capri 2.8 V6. The rearward linkage is OEM '63 Falcon bent slightly to fit.
.
(32/36 is the ( Weber licensed) Holley/Weber 5200 etc carbs used on all kinds of 4 and 6 cylinder cars until fuel injection took it's place. Identical in operation and many parts, the 5200 series is aimed more towards drivability and MPG than the all out 38/38 performance. )

On many intakes the orientation of the throttle butterflies is an important factor for optimum distribution, and then deal with the linkage where it ends up, with the carb positioned correctly.

I don’t remember seeing linkage orientation mentioned on adapter descriptions. Did I miss that or does it have to be custom made, or get a different carb

FWIW the adapter I posted above can be clocked 90* so the carb can be orientated facing forward or sideways. There's a square flange with four intake bolt holes for the intake side.
 
That would work good Frank, but I don’t think it was this thread, didn’t see it. There is a couple going about carb options

oops- this is what happens when working all day in the SC heat. . . MY bad. Yeah it's his other thread.
 
Great info👍. I am going to file that idea for my 2300, would love to get it oriented 90* from where it is now😎. I will keep flow in mind too🤨

Hey Frank, could you tell me how to get in touch Bill for weber carburetor 1v to 2v swap with the fitted tuned jets for the 200 inline 6. I was in his page a few weeks ago, but can't seem to locate it now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff👍
 
I did exactly what you are planning to do on my 67 mustang coup. Except didn’t have headers. Remember you should really get a new distributor at the same time. You can make it work but not at best performance. At the time, I used the DUI, simple, self contained. There is a lot of info here on dizzy or check in vendor section for one set up to your needs from a knowledgeable member, Bill. He can get you one ready to go. The carb swap I did was to the Webber 34/36 from Clifford Performance. They will pre tune it for your specs. I did very little tuning after installation and drivable was greatly improved. Linkage needs to be modified but I can help you do that quite easily. Mount a fuel pressure regulator is the other added requirement, I used a simple L bracket.
You can find cheaper Webber knockoffs, but I was Leary about them. No regrets, it was a daily driver at the time and many miles put on it👍
Hey Don, I hope all is well. Just got a quick question for you, do you know what size studs I should order for the 1v carburater swap to the 2v weber 32/36 carburater? I'm sure you remember, but this would be for my 67 200 small log. I'm trying tk figure it out without having to remove my carburater. Any info would be a big help.
Thanks Don
Jeff
