Fuel System: What brand 2-barell carb?

[Noxnabaker]

Hey, does anybody recognize the brand of this two barell carburetor?

Ford Autolite.

Ford Autolite.

On several million small block and big block Fords from the early '60s to the start of fuel injection. Quite a good carb; it's dead simple and doesn't leak. Downside is the bolt pattern is unique to FoMoCo. With the appropriate adapter it can be used on any 2-bbl application.

AMC used them too. So not Unique to Ford. Holley also uses the same pattern for their 2 barrels. So anything running a "Tri Power" with Holley carbs has the same pattern. Chrysler also used Holley carbs (same pattern) on their "Six Pac".

Pontiac and Chevy used Rochester carbs on their "Six Pac". Oddly I have an old Ford "Tri Power" for a big block that uses Rochester carbs. The manifold was made by Edelbrock.

Ok thanx!
I wonder what max cu.in. engine it would feed goof enough then, is it possible to see that from the tag?

[Noxnabaker]

So it'll need an adapter for a Studebaker engine, right?

[StudeRich]

Yes, on ANYTHING except a Ford.

Well not exactly!! It's an Autolite 2100. Ford used them from 1955 to 1973. They ranged from 195 cfm to 424 cfm. Ford used them on engines from 221 ci thru 390 ci. They are VERY common on Ford 289, 302 and 351, small block engines as well as 352 and 360 big blocks. The 2100 was replaced by the "improved" 2150 in 1973 (which looks the same) and was used thru 1986. The 2150 came in only two sizes; a 287 cfm and a 351 cfm, and was used on inline and V6 as well as V8's thru 400 ci. They will fit anything that will take a Ford (2100) OR a Holley 2 barrel carb. FYI, AMC also used them. There are adapters available to fit them to most anything. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speed...SABEgIpIfD_BwE

BTW; your carb is a 1971 Nox.

[Noxnabaker]

Ok, but it's not my carb, just got offered it.

[gordr]

So, assuming one had an adaptor, would it work well enough on a Studebaker V8 to justify going to the trouble to do it?

[bensherb]

I don't see why not. If it's from a Ford 289-302 it should be just about right.

Not if one has a good-running Stromberg; doubt the difference would be noticeable. They were an economy, not a performance carb.

Tell us the model vehicle and specifics and someone (maybe me) has a freebie 2bbl Stromberg.
