First, thanks for the info on the Distributors. That threw some light on my CARBURETOR options. You Da Man!

Refering to: Econoline with Autolite 1100 - 1 bbl.

You mentioned using a TRUCK carb, and with the info you gave me, found I would need to also change the VACUUM only dist to a vacuum & mechanical dist for it to operate correctly. Not ruling that out for an option.

I removed that SUPPOSEDLY remanufactured 1100 and found the throttle shaft had some play in it - like a pencil floppin round in a quart pickle jar kinda play!!

So at this point, I'm going to get some prices for the same carb BUT for the 200 six since you thought this one may be a bit small anyhow.

Let ya know what I find.
Thanks a bunch for all the info ...

The Mustang 2 BBL. works like a CHAMP!! gotta do the oil pan thing tomorrow.

.. the shaft clearance has to be really close on those small straight 6's , it seems that lots of reman companies fail to realize the importance of throttle shaft bushings.

 

By the way Holley bushings fit 2100's and 4100's, if you ever need them.
