I recently posted a request for clearification on Autolite/Motorcraft 2BBL carbs. but I think no one understood my question.
I'll try this again. Maybe I can make it clearer this time.
I have an adapter from Clifford (08-1640) for a 2-1 carb. setup. I also have a Motorcraft 2150 carburetor. My original idea was to use the two for my carburation setup yet the carb. doesn't fix just right on the adapter. I thought because of the same bolt pattern Holley and Motorcraft used, it would be a clean fit...but nooooooo.
The carb. will bolt up BUT around the base of the carb. it seems a little larger than the base of the adapter. I'm talking where to two connect.
NOW...my question is this, has anyone tried this before? Is the Holley carbs. (2300 series) the only ones that will fit this adapter?
I really don't want to buy another carburetor. Especially a new one for 200 + dollars. Maybe I need some kind of spacer?
So if anyone knows...it would help.
OR...
Will the Motorcraft mount directly to the log if I cut and drill the log? Is the log wide enough? Can I use alum. for a mounting plate? I've seen alot of pictures for this approach but IIRC they are all new Holleys. I'm willing to pay someone for a mounting plate to do just this if someone is willing to make one for me who has had the experience. I've just never played with cutting metal.
Thanks in advance!!!!
