Hi all,
I am currently replacing a 144ci in my 60 Ranchero with a 67 200ci mustang engine.
Could I ask for some advice on carburetors and distributors required? A little background on the cars
The 1960 ranchero has a 144 with manual column change and a manual choke, it has a rebuilt Autoline carburetor from Canada C 732 and stock distributor which work well. the engine needs rebuild so I have purchased a 200ci out of a running 67 mustang that was available.
The 1967 mustang engine was mated to an automatic that did not come with the engine, it came with a distributor that has an old Hays electronic ignition conversation unit, I'm not sure if it's the original distributor, it has Motorcraft stamped on it. The carb also has a tag on it stating Motorcraft with the following ID tag, DOPF L C 6K20. I can not find any background to the numbers on it, I believe it could be a later replacement, it looks like a holy 1940 somebody has made a spacer like adopter at the base, please see photos the engine also came with the Californian emission manifold with all the extra pipes attached, I'm not intending pluming that in.
The plan is to mate this 200 engine to the ranchero manual column change that is in the car, id also prefer to keep the manual choke. I'm assuming the new 144 carb i have on the ranchero at the moment won't work with this engine, I know the carburetor that came with the 200 is for an automatic and I'm also not sure on the distributors to use from the two.
I'm thinking to just purchase a new rebuilt carb and distributor from rock auto to run with the original manual choke and manual gearbox but I’m not sure which ones to order as there are options
