Hello all I have been nosing around on this forum since I decided my project would be Y block powered and I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge here and am looking forward to benefiting from it. As my first post I would like advice on some appropriate carb choices for 292 powered Model A. The specifications for the car and the engine are the following: Model A coupe on 32 frame ,Top loader 4 speed trans, 9" traction lock with 3.50 gear Bias ply 4.50'x 16 in front &.7.00's x 16 on the rear 31 inches tall estimated weight 2700 292 C1AE block .060 over Block heads and crank ,magnafluxed, hot tanked, and surfaced where needed. heads are ECL fitted with larger valves,new seats,and guides, Pistons, rings, bearings, cam, springs, and lifters from Mummerts pistons are stock type, cam specs are duration 270 @ .020, 234@ .050,lift .465, and separation of 108 valve springs are Mummerts recommended VS 105 The rods were reconditioned and new bushings installed New ARP bolts for the heads ,mains and rods The intake is a stock Ford ECZ-9425 B Distributor is a COAF 12127-A ( also has B9AF 12131B marking if that means anything) with a Pertronix module The rocker arm assemblies are rebuilt with new shafts and springs.and the rocker oiling holes were cleaned The rockers are ECG 6564 spark plugs choice is Motorcraft BSF42C gapped to 35 and finally will be using an inline PCV running from a Thunderbird valley pan with the rear road draft tube hole the long block was assembled by a friend with lots of engine building experience just not on Y blocks mostly FE's I intend to drive the heck out of this coupe with lots of highway miles and around town cruising. My goal is to have a reliable , good sounding , motor with some low end power ,reasonable gas mileage and no intention of racing on the street or the track As stated up front what do you guys recommend for a carb and does anything in this list of parts stand out as the wrong choice to be used with any of the other parts? Thanks in advance to all who respond.
