Response to Right jets for the 302 cui 4V

 

Bill and the others have a point, it is dangerous to mix carbs, they might never run right. I've tried about a dozen 1.12 4100s on our 289 Mustang, 3 or 4 of them run super good. That means, they start and run good, fry the tires with a 3.00 geared stock automatic, and return 60ft and 330ft times as my computer predicts. It runs GOOD, and gets 20mpg on the road.

But again, that is only 3 or 4 out of about 12 carbs we've tried. The little 289 just doesn't "like" certain of them as they are all big block carbs (352-390-410-428).

One of them that runs best is a c4af-r, also a 352 carb but from 1964 instead of 1965 like yours. The stock jets which are in it are 48F primary and 58F secondary and it runs good. I might go to 47F primary but have not tried this.
Also, the booster assy is a "G" in the primary, and most likely a "B" or "BA" in the secondary. Which primary booster you have makes a big difference.

I show your c5af-h carb as a 390 automatic carb, came with 49F and 60F jets.

To look for jets, you might try any later Autolite/Motorcraft 2-barrel carb, they used the same style of jet, just look for the size you need.

I agree that a 1.08 would probably work better but they are hard to find even over here, let alone in Austria.
