I went onto holley store on ebay,they have refurbished warrantee returns,bought a 550 cfm for150.00 warrantee included. works great on my 292 ranchero

Thats good to know! I will check it out. Im guessing a rebuildable carb would be $50 and a kit around $60,,,so thats not bad at all if it saves me the time of doing a rebuild.

Not a bad idea if you can get one from Holley. I would be vary sus' on getting a second hand one and you try to rebuild yourself been down that road people fu*( with them too much . If your on the east coast [USA]  see Phil at RPM Ind. He supplied a second hand 450 to my spec charged me $250 and I swear it looked new out of the box!.

Sounds like I have more options than I ever imagined. Thanks for all the input, I have read and filed it all.

I wiil back up Charlie and Mummert that the Summit Ford style carb is a great carb for cheap money, I have put 2 on customers cars and they performed crisp and sweet through all rpm ranges, not a stumble or miss anywhere, they get my thumbs up!
And Chris S, 55's did not come with stock 312's so you do not have a stocker.If you think it is the stock motor look at the first letter of the VIN on your door post U=272 M=292 and I can't remember the 6 cylinder code off the top of my head, not sure if there were many or any 292's put in cars, I think most were only in Birds.

1955 ford V8s were 272 and 292s with the vast majority being 272s. The 292s in 55 were the interceptors bought thru law inforcement or if you were friends with a dealership owner who would fudge the cause.

Billy, I checked out Summit, but I dont see anything listed under Ford style carb. Can you paint me a picture?
