i seem to recollect  Mr Mummert getting good results from from a Summit 4100 replica except the fuel inlet tubes leaked

Stuey: Yes, your correct..however that was on a high performance stroker engine, Kevin just wants to pep up a stocker a bit..so it may or may not be a good choice... ?.

The Holley 1848-1 is designed for modest-displacement Ford engines.

If it's simply a matter of keeping the costs down, then the 600 cfm Holleys are plentiful and reasonably easy to kit.  The nice part about a vacuum secondary carb is that they are self compensating when being put on an engine that's on the small side versus the size of the carb.  If opting for a new carb, then the 525 Street Demon Jr, the 500 cfm Edelbrock, or the 450 cfm List #1848-1 Holley are all suitable carbs for most Y engines.

I'm running a 465 Holley on my mildly built 272, runs great and I haven't touch it since I put it on, over 5 years ago.

RE the summit carb, it's not a "performance" carb by any stretch.  It should work on a stock or mild motor, too.  It just so happens that it worked well on a stroker.  It seems to be a pretty good carb.

I fitted a Holley 390 to my '55 Vicky which has a stock 312.

This is the distributer I believe came off a 1962 F-100 Unibody stock 292 with two barrell manifold and carb. I have an ECZ9425B intake so I can block off the road draft tube on my 1956 Stock 272. To move forward with the removal of the road draft tube, understand I must change the distributer if I want to have  more options for carb choices. The distributer is CT3F-12127-K. It has the ford script logo and 3ED below the first part number. Hoping I have everything right so far except the carberator and that the choices I have made have given me lots of options to find a good used carb I can rebuild.

Darrell: It's a shame to scrap a good running 239. May I suggest to put it in our sites Classifieds?.. Also there is a 54 Ford Club of America, run by a Tom Hoskins at 817-466-8088 in Arlington Tx., or at-   HoskinsTom@yahoo.com
