If its the little one barrel holly that you are talking about I have one. No promise of the condition of it. I would assume that it needs to be run through. But if you want it, its yours!
My 200CI had a mustang FoMoCo on it, when I got it. Went to Shuck's and bought a brand new Holly for $150
Have a 66 Comet 202 sedan here with a 6 cylinder...not sure what size, but it has a carb...if you want it...let me know...will ship.. Mark 972.712.6558
HEY BIG DAVE !!!!!! theres yer problem right there !!!! that aint a Falcon carb!!

E-MAIL me for a pic if ya need it.....DESOTO6X2@AOL.COM
Hey ChopperDave......that single barrel on my 66 Comet is an Autolite..not a Holley like you picture...dam car is just waiting to come in to be made into a Nostalgia Super Stock car with a 427...the engine does not run, but if you want that carb instead of the Holley, let me know btw...the engine is blue..not sure what size 6 banger. get in touch via email texoutsider@aol.com or call 972.712.558 It's a freebie if you want it.
uhhh, no. falcons ran a few different carbs, they certainly DID run that style so there is no reason that one won't work. somehow i kinda doubt an econoline is pulling enough Gs to uncover the jet, if it is, then it's pretty simple to raise the float level. that carb can be retrofitted with the glass bowl as well. it can be interesting to actually see what is going on in there. it's just kinda hard to find a friend to ride around under the hood while you drive!
your local head shop? i have a few extras, i might be able to part with one if you're in a hurry. or else ebay, just search for glass holley and you should find some. you should be able to find one there a little cheaper than what i'll sell my bowls for.
Yeah, its good info to have, the 61 carbs, (like the one pictured), have "backwards" linkage as compared to the 1909 used in 62. What I mean by backwards, is that the throttle lever swings in an opposite direction. It'll hook up, but when you push the pedal, you pin the throttle plate against the idle stop. I swapped a complete 61 engine into my 62 Ranchero, and ran into this problem, so I know first hand..... Now, having said that, with the age of these cars, its likely that someone changed the entire linkage setup at some point, so the 61 style carb may indeed be what you need.......
