click the link. I have no idea who this guy is and have not questioned him yet on this carb and intake manifold... but are these "F" code supercharger parts here? He does not indicate that in the listing, but it "Shooo do look like it!"

That is the correct casting number for the F code intake, and the carb appears to be correct, although it could be a Lincoln. The number on the back flange will tell what it is.

So the F code used a B type intake but with a teapot carb.

So the F code used a B type intake but with a teapot carb.
Interesting that the 'F' intake manifold carburetor mounting pad has both carb bolt patterns.
I'm scratching my head as to why a different casting number was used on the 'F' intake manifold if the only difference was the after-casting machining of adding the Holley 4000 bolt pattern.
Still learnin'...

Charlie:
There are other differences. The top of a B manifold has various voids in the top flange, the F has a flat flange. The F also has a relief crescent in the casting to clear the teapot primary throttle arm. The throttle bores are larger in the F so that they are close enough together in the center to align with the teapot bores in the center. There is also 3/16" difference in height from the manifold floor to the carb flange, but I can't remember which is taller, probably the F. It would not surprise me if there were some differences in the ports and runners also.

I would really love to have a genuine F code to check out. I thought they were a B pattern with the carb flange drilled as John said. The F code was taller, like they added material make the Teapot fit better. clearanced the back and enlarged the throttle bores. That could have been done without changing the core box inexpensively and Quickly. I remember hearing that the program was a bit of a rush job for Daytona.

Even though I've been around several F code cars and tbirds it's always interesting to see and learn more about all the little stuff that goes into one of the "Holy Grail" cars.

I wonder where the rest of the car is that the F stuff came from??????

From now on I will look at every B type intake to see if it has the dual bolt patterns.

the carb has linc. style choke cover and it's hard to read but it looks like SMF-9 and LIST-1211 on the back of the carb. I've never heard of those markings on a 4000 carb. mabey it's a special nascar carb? it would be nice to see a closer pic. of the back of the carb. also it looks like the exhaust tube comes off at a different angle on the choke side.

say John, take a closer look at the rear venturies, they look really big to me but I haven't looked at a linc. carb. in quite some time.

Wayne, the venturi look about right for the Lincoln and F carbs. They are about as big as they can go without breaking into the fuel inlet passage. That happened to Pegleg at Columbus, the wall was so thin it broke through and flooded the engine so bad it wouldn't run.

The heat riser tube is capped off. Shouldn't it go through a grommet into the area next to choke plates. At least it does on my original F code carb.

The listing was just cancelled for 'an error in the listing'.

That's why you don't say anything when you find something like that.

Obviously both parties were comfortable with pricing, but the seller may have left some monies unclaimed. Once understood an item with that rarity should have been properly advertized and left to auction completion. At least it did not go to the smelter undiscovered.

hi, I zoomed in on the carb and it looks like EDB-C and 1261 ?
|
|
By Oldmics - 11 Years Ago

Well what ever it was I wont ever be finding out.
The seller was a middle person selling a part she did not have in her possession.
After I won the item she went to acquire the parts and was told that they had already been sold.
I got screwed - Big shock on "F" parts.
I know know what the "F" really stands for in "F" parts.

Give that seller some serious bad feedback on that deal,if I were to sell something for a friend on ebay the items would be at my house and under my control. That middle person need to be taught a lesson on selling for others.

Definately report the transaction to EBAY. No matter what the reason this person sold an item to you and then did not deliver. EBAY has enough trouble without this. Chuck

That and the dog ate my homework, bombs away on the feedback. Definitely an F code deal.

What was the angled plate on the front of the carburetor for? I've seen them before on McCulloch applications. Chuck

No point in reporting, he did the deal outside of eBay.
Imo, eBay should not allow listings to be cancelled as easily as they do, i have missed out several times by people doing private deals...

Chuck:
I have a couple of theories on the angled plate. My first thought was to direct part of the airstream to the secondaries in a smoother flow. The other possibility is to direct flow over the top of the carb to prevent the airstream from syphoning fuel from the bowl vents. Anyone else have any information? I have always run the plate, so I don't have any experience without it.
