Most tea pot carbs look the same.
55 tea pot did have the choke on the intake manifold, so no place to bolt a chock on a 55 carb.
Some of the Lincoln carbs are modified for use on E & F engines to my best knowledge.
One sure fire thing, the top body of the carb which has the chock butterflies for E & F, and like the Lincoln carbs, >>>that body part is taller than a normal/typical teapot carb. One other easy and noticeable thing, a regular tea pot has rounded edges on its choke butterflies, and the performance E& F & Lincoln has squared off edges at the bottom.
I have performance tea pot ones here, and a Lincoln teapot, for a few F's being worked on, only reason I know guys.

Carl, I think it's the same, do youhave one with a threaded needle seat? Some were a slide in arrangement.

I tend to think the float bowls were the same as the smaller carbs. The choke housing is different as is the throttle housing.

pegleg,
You got me thinking, so I went and measured a "regular t pot" >> and then the Lincoln, E & F carbs here..
From the aluminum base body of both of the carbs, to the top of the carbs, there is exactly 1/2 inch difference in height between the reg t pot, to the hipo t pot.
I measured from the rim of where the air cleaner gasket sits.
Never measured anything in-between, maybe the float bowls are the same?
I never noticed the difference until one day when I noticed the chock butterfly differences.
Warm regards,
John

i think so. Soon as i find a good one I'll find out. Hoosier told me the diff seems to be the choke housing, and 99% of the time he's correct.

hi, only the f code is like the Lincoln, the e code are like a standard carb. also the 55 linc. carb was like the standard but it was larger than a standard carb, it has larger secondaries, about half way between a standard and a linc. for cfm, also frank, ford and IH used the bigger carbs on trucks, only with a governer, the floats might be the same as the linc. i'll check when I get a chance. they used them on trucks well into the 60's. the truck carbs are a good sourse for bigger butterflys in a standard carb.

I knew some of that, running a Lincoln now. I boogered the seat cover threads, best bet would be another one. I do have a nonthreaded version that i may have to use.

Frank:
You can thread the non-threaded bowl to accept a threaded needle valve seat. The thread is a 24 TPI which is same thread pitch as 3/8 fine thread however the seat thread is much larger.
I have used the tap from a 3/8x 24 helicoil to tap the bowl to accept a threaded seat.
I would try the tap in a piece of metal just to be sure it will work just in case some helicoil taps are different from the one I use. I would not want you to ruin a good bowl.
Those non threaded seats are very hard to find today and most carb kits say to re-use your seat if rebuilding a teapot.

the last teapot I put together for a fella down south of where I live, I had to do exactly that - Reuse the original needle and seat. I have never done the modification to the float bowl before... sounds like it would work fine though. When you do use a fuel bowl with a smooth bore, watch out for fuel pressure. They will leak like the dickens if you barely go over the recommended fuel pressure setting (don't ask me how I know, lol)

Which is my major worry, and with a blower and elevated fuel system pressure............!

If you tap the bowl thread straightness is important so not to leak.
I wrap a rag around the bowl before placing in the vice so not to damage anything then take a small level and level across the bowl seat opening, then attach the level ( it is magnetic) across the tap handle so all tapping will be true. I have also done it free hand or eye sighted that works as well also just the level is a more exact method.
