Ted, I read your carburetor test comparison article and see that the 112 carb tested somewhat acceptable on the 312. I also am running a 57 312 but with an Isky E4 cam and a basic Holley 600. Is it worth my time and effort to swap to one of these 112 carbs? The car is a 56 Victoria with a 5 speed OD. I'm more into low end performance than high end HP. Thanks Dave

Thanks for that info Ted. Dave

The 112 would be the venturi size with the number actually representing 1.12”.  The 1.08” venturi carbs were found on the smaller engines like the 289’s while the 1.12” venturi carbs were found on almost everything else from 352 thru 428 engines.  The 1.19” venturi carbs were made in limited numbers in the late Fifties and are sought after for their larger venturi size.

Excellent article. I guess what I have are the 4100 series. Since I posted the original ad, I found 2 more in my stash that I will sell. Another 4100 112 from a 63 Tbird rebuilt for $100 and a 4300 series from a 69 Lincoln 460 engine rebuilt for $100. These are all excellent carbs. Hope someone can use them. Dave

Thanks for the input but I don't know much about them either other than that they were original equipment in the 50s-60s

Dave: I'm not that informed re Autolite carbs although I'm using a 1.08 venturie on my 57 Ford..anyway I suspect that some on this site are likely much more informed about Holleys & so on than what your advertising.. I've found that many Hot Rodders & so on, barely know of the existence of  the Ford Autolites. You Might want to elaborate re the venturie sizes etc.  Just a thought..
