Re: Re 1972 Ford carb

[Ken Ames <amesk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wouldn't most any early 70s AMC/Motorcraft 2100 work? AFAIK the only 
differences were the occasional jet change and some of the 360 automatics
around 1971 had 1/8" larger throttle bores (another 50cfm - 1 11/16 vs 1 9/16)
Later versions had bowl vent hose adapters and other emissions stuff. 

My 304 Spirit with 998 and 2.53:1 open diff runs mid 16s at 82 (still in 2nd 
gear) with the larger carb and #52 jets, plus the normal high voltage upgrade 
(not TFI). Everything else stock as stock (no special cam, intake, exhaust, 
etc.).
