New guy here. Just retired and got a 61 Falcon 2dr Sedan to play with. I need a 1 barrel carb for the 170 cu. BTY this is a great site. Thanks in advance.

I've got one that came out of my '60 (144 c.i.) that you can have for postage if you think it'll work

Thanks for responding. Lees6t, I will take you up on your generous offer. I have no carb at this time and your price is unbeatable. It's worth a shot that it will work, don't know myself. Let me know how to pay you. Thanks.

I have a Carter YF on my '61 falcon moredoor. You're likely looking for an Autolite 1100, which is pretty much the standard fo rthe 170's. THe Carter YF has more lung capacity though

I just bought 2 inline 1966 mustangs and need carbs for both

Thanks for your response and welcome. The info you passed is good as I'm just beginning in Ford's. John

have fun toying around with that 170, if you ever get tired or break it the good news is that 200ci inline sixes are a direct swap and are usually easy to find for cheap or free.

For any information about hopping it up or stuff like that i'd suggest checking out fordsix.com's forums, lotsa great info there.

Thanks ROMMASTER for the response and info. Wish I'd found this Ford crowd sooner.
