" What carb did the Ford 200/250 use? Did they have a 2V model or were
" all 1V? Those have the carb close to the valve cover also. I don't
" recall ever seeing a 2V, not that I've seen a lot of them...

with the 12-port head in australia and argentina the stock carb was a
2bbl, but the i6 was a major engine in those markets.

afaik amc was unique in offering a 2bbl i6 before the gas crisis.
pontiac offered a 4bbl option to their ohc i6 but everyone else's plan
was to move you up to a v8 if you wanted more than the absolutely
cheapest powertrain.  chevy [for one] had a marine 2bbl setup but
never used it in cars.  mopar offered a 2bbl 225, in the late '70s
when mileage ratings began to matter, and the buick v6 was always
2bbl.  kaiser offered a 2bbl on their tornado ohc 230, but they didn't
have a v8.

and i recall, when my folks bought a '65 bel air wagon - the 230 i6
[which they got] was rated 20mpg, but the 283 was rated 23!
