What is the correct 2 barrel carb for the 289? I'm trying to help Reiny get one for his C/S.

Neil,
The type of carburetor is dependent on the transmission/smog system used. All 289 cu. in. engines used the Autolite 2100. If the transmission is a standard, the carburetor would be a C8AF-AK type. If the transmission is an automatic, the carb would be a C8ZF-G. These numbers are found on the carburetor tag, which also includes the date code, and is stamped on the carburetor base on the driver's side. I highly recommend Pony Carburetors for rebuilding or outright purchase of a carburetor....they do a great job restoring a carburetor, but they aren't cheap.
Hope this helps, Russ

Mine is an automatic. Here is the tag picture, Autolite 2100, before the rebuild at Pony Carb. Worth it to me, what a piece after the rebuild.

I'm waiting for feedback from Reiny (A/T or Standard transmission). I don't think he wants to spend the $$$ for a concourse (Pony) carb. I'll be looking for a good O/H unit from a carb shop I used in Miami.

Hello,
Neil thanks for your help. I contacted already Pony carb, but I dindt have already a answer back. The "problem" is, if Pony carb. sent a carburetur to the Netherlands, I have to pay a lot of shipping cost and also a lot of taxes. If I order one in Miami, I can pick it up in Miami when I am on Holiday in Florida in march 2010.'
If there is a GT/CS (or other Mustang owner) owner in or nearby Miami who will help me, so I can pick up a restored (standard, not concours) carb. from Pony carb. at his adres, it will help me also to keep the cost very low.
I am searching for a 289 2V AT standard restored carburetor (thats the information you need)
Everybody thanks,
Reiny
