Neil:confused: CougarCJ 09/15/2009, 10:00 AM Autolite. The Motorcraft name started appearing later, 1970ish. robert campbell 09/15/2009, 10:12 AM Neil, I agree with Scott for autolight. To amplify, in my experience the motocraft name was assigned to the over the counter replacement stuff. So if you bought a new carb to replace yours it was a motocraft. Best to my knowledge. The "Ford" 4 barrel carbs on all the early and mid 1960's were all autolights. By the way, I have some 4300 cores if anyone wants a free one. You pay shipping. One has a broken carb flange and the other is a good running carb. Rob franklinair 09/15/2009, 11:35 AM Rob- Sent you a PM. Neil murf104 09/15/2009, 01:44 PM Neil, Autolite is the original for our 68 "J" code engines, I think the automatic cars used a carb with the following stamped number on the tag: C8ZF-D There were Motorcraft carbs that were used as a replacement for this rather troublesome Autolite unit, and sold through ford Parts and Service. Many cars now use the Motorcraft, in fact I think they are more commonly found than the original Autolite 4300. Ruppstang 09/15/2009, 07:28 PM Jon at Pony carburetors has a good fix for the autolite 4300. I think it runs just under $300 plus everything is replated to look like new. Marty teamlo 09/16/2009, 04:37 PM Pony Carbs prices for Autolite 4300: -Standard restoration is $349.50 -Concours restoration is $449.50 -core is $180 (for most 4300 applications) Terry franklinair 09/16/2009, 04:50 PM That's ridiculous!!! (IMHO) For functionality, an Edelbrock 600CFM is better & cheaper. Neil rvrtrash 09/16/2009, 06:48 PM That's ridiculous!!! (IMHO) Neil Try pricing a correct Boss 351 carb. You'll add $2K to the total. Needless to say, I don't have one yet. :sad: Steve Ruppstang 09/16/2009, 06:51 PM Wow! I guess it has been longer than I thought since I had a 4100 done. Marty CougarCJ 09/16/2009, 09:46 PM I really like the Autolite 4100 carburetors. I am running one on my 1968 Cougar. There is a really good chance that one will find it's way onto my California Special too. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/CougarCJ/th_Carburetorlinkage.jpg (http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/CougarCJ/?action=view¤t=Carburetorlinkage.jpg) murf104 09/27/2009, 04:33 PM Rob, do you still have any of the 4300 carbs left? I am searching for some parts or a broken core. Anyone have any available? |
