    Hey guys i gotta 51 ford f1 with a bad carb. I've been to all the auto part stores and no one can get me a new one. I don't know where else to look. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanx guys ;)

    There are many out there to buy if you need to be original.
    Another option is to buy the adapter from early Ford 3-bolt base carb to a more modern 4-bolt base carb.

    I'm bumping this because i'm in the same predicament. I have a '51 shoebox with the flat 6. The carb all but dissolved after an overnight soak in carb cleaner. I have a Holley 1920 from a slant six but it has too big of a footprint for the intake. Will a 94 fit in place of this little two-bolt, one-barrel? I dont need to be original, just use something that will fit!

    Thanks for any help!

    www.macsautoparts.com

    Or contact any of the vendors listed in the HAMB-O-Dex that rebuild old Ford carbs.
