Re: my 1970 Hornet project

I know the last Pintos used them -- 1979? All 2.3L Ford fours used them until they went to fuel injection. I don't know what the last year a carbed Ford small car was made. Might be through the feedback years, so 79 would be about the last year of non-feedback carbs, 1980-81 for small trucks (did the Courier use the 2.3L Ford -- that would be the last application of a non-feedback engine anyway). You wouldn't want a feedback carb anyway.
