i have a 1979 200 ci i am in the process of rebuilding to put in 1963 falcon. i want to put autolite 1100 on this motor. the intake holes on this newer motor are too big for 1100 carb. i want to stay with the org linkage. is there anny carb spacer avaiable to do this. called pony carbs they said motor came with holley 1946 carb which takes cable linkage. anybody ever converted to 1100 and what did you have to do. thanx cocacolaman
 
Howdy Back Cocacolaman:

I have never done this, but it makes sense so long as you-
*get an Autolite 1100 or 1101 without a Spark Control Valve in it. That means a '68 or '69 1100. The down side is that these carbs only come in the 1.1" venturi size, which is the size previously used in 170s. 200 = 1.1" venturi = 185 cfm. 170 = 1.1" venturi = 156 cfm.

The 1101 was used on the '69 250 engine only. It would be Non-SCV and have a CFM of 210. This would be a great choice if you can find one. It is visually identical to the 1100 of adapting would be the same except for TB and bolt spacing.

*You will likely need a carb to manifold adaptor from an early 200 to orient the carb correctly. It may need to be made from scratch or a stock one modified.

If you're ordering a carb from Pony specify a High Performance 1100 for a 1969 200 engine. It will have no SCV and a 210 CFM. And it will be pricy!

The Holley #1946 is a terrible carb to work on. It is very encumbered with feed back systems and limited tuneability. I doubt that it flows more that 170 CFM.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Adios, David
