I think the coupe console is taller than the convertible console.

There is no vacuum at idle or when I open the throttle.

Rob, Which hole are you talking about? All the holes in the housing and in the throttle body seem to be clear. The vacuum advance works but there is no vacuum to the advance. For some reason the port isn't working. I increased the timing and switched vacuum ports. Most of the hesitation is...

Where did you find that photo? Rob, This one has high scripts.:rofl:

Yes, there seems to be. Not a ton like I'd expect in a 2V. Putting it back together I did this. <sigh> Oh well, it's only 8 screws.

I tore apart the carb and found that the check weight was over the wrong ball. And of course it was over the accelerator pump ball. After moving the weight to the proper spot I took the car out for another spin. It's better, but since I've never owned a 200 I don't know how much hesitation is...

Winning bid was $47,500!!!!

I’ll check later today. That could be one reason the damn thing won’t start after a few days without priming it. I’m tempted to drill a hole in the air cleaner as a priming port!!!

The accelerator pump cover was badly warped. I flattened it the best I could and also lowered the float. It's no longer leaking. If I can't get rid of the flat spot I'll ship it to you.

Yep, that's one of the things that creates the flat spot in the 1100, another reason is the distance to the outer cylinders. If the 2x1 system isn't too expensive I may go that route instead of the 2100. More research to do.

I found a little problem with my carb that may be causing some of its issues. The driver's side accelerator pump leaks when it kicks in, which is odd because it's a new diaphragm. Hopefully another new diaphragm will solve the problem, but I'm not counting on it. Two other problems could be...

The bidding is up to $22,000.

Good point; I hadn't thought of that.

I still prefer the green car.

Here's my reasoning. Unfortunately, In 1968 Ford changed the venturi size of the Autolite 1100 from 1.2" to 1.1", which reduced the flow from 185cfm to 150cfm. They also changed the timing from 12* to 6*. All for emissions reasons. The 1968 Ford 200 pulls 289cfm at 5,000rpm and 100%...

Does anyone have a complete core carb, 1.08 or smaller they'd like to sell?

Here's what I've come up with so far: Clay Smith Cam 264/214 Clay Smith Lifters Clevite 77 Bearings Clay Smith Springs Melling Oil Pump Vintage Inline Carb Adapter Vintage Inline Phenolic spacer I already have a new timing chain and gears Now the difficult decision; Autolite or Holley 2V carb...

Neil and Rich, Are either of you going to get wet?
