Have a new never been run 570 Holley street avenger for $300 + shipping. They are a lot more expensive than that but I don't need it at this time. Thought I'd put it on my truck hauler but the carbs to nice for that.Ph: 828-298-2197 or let me know here.

I completely agree with the  Autolite 4100 recommendation.  It is simple, reliable, fairly reasonable to purchase (though knowledgeable people are buying them up and pushing the price up).  They are nearly fool proof and unquestionably 100% Ford.

I ran a new Summit 600 cfm vacuum secondary carb on a 300 inch Y yesterday and it ran nicely without any hic cups.  These are like a new version of the old 4100's.  Jetting appears to be close enough to run like it is and the idle mixture screws were spot on in their out of the box settings.  Pricing is very good on those carburetors right now which makes them a good buy.  Another choice would be the 500 cfm Edelbrock carb but those are roughly another $100 higher. Based on what I’ve seen with the Summit carbs, that would be a good carb choice for your engine.

I'm with schlockrod & gekko13 on this one. Unless your out to do a bit of racing you can't beat a 4100 for the street. Like they mentioned simple & trouble free.

I am spoilt for choices!  Thanks gentlemen.   

I hadn't really considered a 4100, but I have had good luck with  a simple Autolite 2100 2 bbl. on the box stock 292 in my '56 F350 flatbed.
I took a quick look on Ebay at 4100's with 1.08 bore's and they were all $300++  plus for rebuilts.   The larger bores were listed for upwards 500 bucks??!!  I saw an Edelbrock 1403 500cfm with an electric choke for $315, delivered!  Very tempting.    Is there somewhere else I should be looking for 4100s??

Thanks again, Jeff

Jeff: You might try a Mustang club for a 1.08 carb

Regarding sources for 4100's, we have all seen the on-line ads quoting remarkable prices but if you comb the swap meets, garage sales, etc., they turn up there too and rebuildable units are far more reasonable.  Rebuild kits are readily available and these carbs are easy to work on.  I'd  have a tough time rationalizing spending $500 on one but I admit I'm a cheap SOB who would rather do it myself and pocket the difference.

I am using an Ebelbrock 600 on my 312 and have had no issues of any kind with it.I would have preferred a 500 with a manual choke but the 600 was on sale--------.Todays retail at my local advance auto for the 600 is 324 dollars.I know you can beat that on the net.
