well I was already at the jetted carb and headers.
so now I'm doing the carb from the 240 engine.
"The carburetor we used was Ford part number C7AZ-9510-AA and is available from any Ford dealer for $25.60 "
yea you can't pick that up for 25.60 anymore.
well i found one for about the same price.

so it looks like the carter yf carb.

LOL, yeah that looks like a YF.
Is the base aluminum or cast?

[2thpic]

Im not buying it, but it's alum. base
I ordered a new YF last night so i hope it will be in by next weekend.

Aluminum base is the later one and may be a YFA

Great progress, thanks for sharing your good work. A guy has to love a new carburettor ;-)

Good news i just got a deal on a driver side fender. Yep, right after i just got it premiered and strips put on.
It's a 66 so it's not the same but i plan on cutting the front section off and replacing my front section that is jacked. So the only difference in the 66 vs 67 is the louvers on the side.
I will have to see where the best places will be to cut and weld.
It will be a bit of welding and reworking but in the end it will look good.
Btw it will be a springtime project. who know maybe by then a 67 fender might come up and save me some work. we shall see.

Slowly but surely!!!

Ppicked up a 66 fender over the weekend.
If I can't find a 67 fender by this spring i will cut off a patch plate from this to fix mine.

carb progress, very slow for me.

the difference in hole sizes, but mounting holes are good. I will taper the inlet port to match the carb bore.

the difference in carbs side by side

Mounting the carb to inlet works but some changes will need to be made.

throttle linkage, the hardest of the modifications.

simple gas line

automatic choke pipe will have to be made to reach the opposite side of the carb

dis. vacuum advance line will need to be change just at the end.

my idea on a throttle lever extension. the green is the movement of the carter carb.
I will have to get a longer quick disconnect rod (about 1" longer then stock) to make this work.

 

[2thpic]

I got a 1x2 angle to cut the shapes for the linkage.
One is flat and the other one will have the first 90 per done from the edge and I will have to bend the other

next i will have to heat up the edge to make the bends then drill the holes.
i just ran out of time during lunch break at work.

 

[2thpic]

well, that didn't work. each one broke.

so i made one from some lighter weight metal.

This morning it did a quick test fit and i dont think it will work.
With the travel length of the stock linkage, it will only open the carb 3/4 the way open.
I am feeling lost right now. any help or ideas would be grateful.
I know I'm not the first to do this and the wright up from back then didn't go into detail on the linkage.

 

[Action]

Not exactly sure what you are making. I think it is carb linkage.
If correct, instead of linkage, move to a cable.

Action

 

[2thpic]

I thought about that but i haven't been able to find any pics of that done on a 200 in line with the stock peddle arm at fire wall.
All that i have seen is with a complete replacement of the peddle assembly and all.

 

[Action]

To do that you would have to replace the pedal arm. The stock linkage arm is not made for a cable.

You might look for Mustang applications with six.
Mustang is far more in demand and many of the Mustang parts will cross over to Fairlane/Falcon.

Attached is a pic of a 71 Mustang pedal. The mounting is nearly universal for all F/M of the period. The pedal is different for different applications.
The end for the cable allows a cable to be connected.
