Dang Pete one of your vids helped me convert an old AC system to R134 like a year ago and now here you pop up again trying to figure out a carb for my Falcon

Great video very well done and professional I'm installing the exact same carbby my 67 Ford Econoline thank you

I can always click like on your videos before watching them, this is another great video 👍👍

The 240 and 300 ford inline six engines were a completely different block. They also have removable intake manifolds. The Ford family of engines including the 144/170/200/250 all share the same block with slight differences. All of their cylinder heads can be swapped. After a certain year, 68 I believe maybe later, the ford 200 and 250 shared the same large log cylinder head. The biggest difference between the 170/200 and 250 block was the deck height to get the increased stroke for 250 cubic inches. The earlier blocks had a small log head on them. The small 144/170/200 engine family is also referred to as the “Falcon Six”. This engine family is easiest noted by the intake log being cast into the cylinder head. This makes the engine very very different from the 240/300 inline six that ford used in their van and truck lines....

Very helpful Pete! I wasn't sure about gaskets vs the idle control configuration. I am using the Motocraft 1940 replacement so now it is clear!

Great video !! This is so informative!!

Thanks, best video I have seen on yt yet, going to give it a try, wouldnt have tried done it with out your video, thanks again. (65 mustang 200 ci barn find, )

First and foremost great addition to the family. Second an interesting video. Pete haven’t seen videos lately Hope I haven’t missed any. Will checkout the play list. I hope all is good. Stay safe and well from Artie out on eastern Long Island. 👍🇺🇸 gosh you brought me back to the days of the carburetor 👍

Can see where this would puzzle many since so many people have done swaps beforehand. Research will be king when starting anything approaching a rebuild as I've seen lots of substitutions made for the proper item. Thank you.

Amazing, Cape Shank along with its Light House is just around the corner from where I live in Australia.

thanks Pete! I'm in the UK and I have a 53 F100 with all Bronco drivetrain and 170/6 motor with a yf carb which is missing the linkage between throttle and choke. Choke doesn't open much, going to get a replacement carb sent over - this video was crucial info, thanks mate!!!

That was excelent info. Thank you.

Great video!

Nice I'm changing a carburetor on my 62 old falcon I 6 your video allot off help 👍

Good video sir. I have a question I have a 1965 mercury comet straight six. I installed a new fuel pump, new carb 1100, water pump, wires spark plugs correct gapping timing etc. I start the vehicle after pumping the gas pedal several times. Vehicle starts I wait until it gets warmed and when I put it in drive the vehicle dies? Can you help me if possible don’t know the cause of the vehicle dying

Thank you for the video, Glad you have Pearl on Security, dogs keep us human. God Bless and be Safe

Having trouble with 76 ford 300 how would i remove smog to make it work

Can you make a video of you connecting the vacuum lines from the carburetor to your vacuum advance? As well as any other hoses that need to be connected. I have an inline 6 240 with the YF carb.

My 72 Comet w/ 250 came with a Carter 1bbl. Suffers from vapor lock here in Texas.

Good video!

i think you may have the 250 cyl head from a mustang the 240 is the same engine family as the 300 with removable intake the 144/170/200&250 all have the manifold cast into the head my 79 granada has a head that looks identical from the outside but has larger valves than the previous years if you want a little better performance look for a 78,79or 80 granada 250 cyl head they also have hardened valve seats for unleaded gas

@PetesGarage At about 9:05 you mentioned connecting the EGR hose. Isn’t that the PCV hose. Great video over all.

Sir excellent video. I have a question if you can please give me some guidance. I have a 65 Mercury comet 3.3 straight 6 cylinder. I installed a new carburetor, new alternator, new fan belt. Am able to start the vehicle let get warm up for 15 minutes maybe longer and it stays running on park when I put it on drive it will drive for about a half a block then it dies on me. Also while is idling I hear a metal knocking noise. I changed the oil filter air filter, set the distributor, plugs wires etc even set the timing and am still having a problem. I check the gas lines all of way to the gas tank no leaks as well. Can you help maybe I am doing something wrong. Not sure thanks 🙏

Awesome video. I just replaced my carter 1bbl on an f-150, but I feel like my fast idle is way too high. How do I adjust that? Just put the screw lower on the gear?

I been seeing plenty of people using the 1100 autolite because of the 3/16 smaller diameter it increases velocity and low end torque.H.P. decreases only moderately on rhe high end where you don't use these engines anyhow.Best it increases mpg.

Fantastic

Not sure if you still follow questions on this post but heres a shot. I have a 1983 ford bronco with the 4.9 300 inline 6. The carb is nothing but hut problems for us at 9k feet elevation. Everyone says modify to a 2 or 4 barrel. Id rsther figure out a better carb than the original motocradt single on it. Any suggestions on an upgraded carb and air cover? We are running high idle like screaming high and adjusting it can get us to a low scream. Still smells of fuel no matter what and at low idle scream it likes to die. So any suggestiins are greatly appreciated!

I have a 1971 Ford F100 with a 240 inline 6 and a 1 barrel carburetor. I have never been able to get the tuning quit right. It runs great but smokes all the time and I don’t know what I need to do to clean up the exhaust fumes.

Question, do you have a video on the choke adjustment on both the spring and linkage side? Also where is the choke pulling the air from on the manifold.

Hey Sir. I have a 80 f100 with a 300 inline 6 and it starts fine but it seems to lose power once you start driving. I have electric fuel pump and regulator with return line and wondering what cause it to lack gas after starting off. Any suggestions?

Hey Pete my 1968 mustang with the 200 six with the 1100 carb has no spacer at all and doesn’t look as it ever did? When were these used?

I have a 1986 Ford 300 FI......I want to change it over to carburetion.....I would appreciate your suggestions and inputs....Thanks, La Grange, Texas

Pete what was the The plate between the Carburetor and The head And where could I get one of them

Glad to see you sticking with the Straight Six and not installing a V8.

Nice video pete. I received my yf carb thursday and installed it today. Great carb. Q; How is the choke operating. I didnt see you hook it up to anything.

Hi. I have almost the same problem, but I am looking for the spacer you have on your car, what is it so I can look it up? I don't need the spacer to fit the 100, I have the carb you have but need the spacer. Thank you!

On Carter YFA, how to adjust high idle? Thanks

Id like to know how to get 25mpg out of my 81 e100 van.. i was thinking of bumping up compression a tad in the overhaul but not to familiar with the dinky little carbs on these

If it was out of a Falcon it was not a 240 which was the big block 6 in the 240/300 family used for full size cars and trucks. Probably a 250 which was same block as 170/200 with a slightly taller height.

Do you know where I can get a spacer for a 4.9L 300 1 bbl carb

I put it in what looks like the same port on the manifold, but there is no pressure at all. the gauge is at zero. what am I doing wrong? I blew into the hose and the vacuum gauge is working.

Hi, How many PSI vacuum for a Ford 250 ci six inline?

That is most definitely a 250 cylinder head I have owned both small and large block ford 6 cylinders and its not hard to tell after you work with them for a while. You can actually remove the intake from 240 and 300 but not the small block

Is a spacer mandatory, or can I do without? The carburetor I took off didn’t have a spacer, but I’m replacing with a new carburetor.. so not sure if I need a spacer or not?

Hey, do you know where you can get that gas pedal linkage? I’ve been looking for one of those and they are hard to find

So when I tried using the vacuum gauge on mine, the gauge was jumping so bad I couldn't get a good reading. Is this caused by a vacuum leak?

How much HP could you actually get out of a 300? I’m thinkin of doin an overhaul on my naturally aspirated 300/6

What vacuum gauge are u using there?

Hi! Where do i get the same spacer/angle adaptor you installed? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!!!!

Frank is telepathic.

Isn't that a 250 cylinder head? A 240 would have a bolt-on intake manifold (among other differences). Otherwise good info.

Why don’t you wanna tighten the gasket too much? I’ve got an ‘83 F250 that needs a tune and I wanna do it myself. Shops cost too much for my $10/hr wage 😂

What a wonderful face Frank has ! Give him a pat for me. And an ear scratch.

Better choice is a 4 barrel manifold 4 barrel carburetor and a header, you will have twice as much power and great gas mileage

Hey Pete - fantastic video sir! I’m a new owner of a ‘65 Mustang with an inline 6, and I have no idea of the pedigree of my motor. Can you tell me where/how to identify my engine? I see various numbers stamped on the motor but don’t really know what’s what. Are there any websites or videos out there that walk through this process? Thank you again!

I think this is the Rochester 2 bbl → As he says these are ""easy to tune" and as well a complete rebuild which usually is the way to go in an era when "Stimmie" is leaves & stems and dot edu is selling S.T.E.M. 's ~ folks there is a metering rod which has to be set right - AW Hell he is just using a rebuild from the parts retailer →NY !

NAw,don't do it.Cut the log,open up a hole.Use V.I.s adaptor to put on a Weber/Holley 5200 or an Autolite 2100/Holley 350.I've done 18.All will take either adaptor.All it takes is a grinder and time.
