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.

55 Vicky & customline

58 Rack Dump, 55 F350 yard truck, 57 F100

59 & 61 P 400's, 58 F100 custom cab, 69 F100, 79 F150, 82 F600 ramp truck, 90 mustang conv 7 up, 94 Mustang, Should I continue?

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

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!.

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.

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

I hear what your saying. Its been cleaned and painted....nice little motor.

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

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.

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

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.
