My friend just bought a 55' ford with a 272 c.i.  engine. The engine has the "power package option" which means it has a four-throat, concentric downdraft carb with factory duals.. The old carb is wore out. Can someone suggest a replacement carb that will bolt on with the same linkage and fuel line setup? Can this original carb still be purchased? Appreciate all input and thank you in advance.  Ron

See my response to your question on Ford Barn.

I assume it is a 4000 series t-pot which kits are still available from the t-birb parts stores,making a rebuild a good choice.

Yes..........It is a T-Pot 4000 Holley. My friend is checking with www.ponycarburetors.com at the present time to see about a rebuilt replacement. Thanks for your comeback!!!~~~~~~~~~~~Ron

I hear Ponycarburetors are right pricy but build an excellent carburetor for any application needed.

When it comes to the T-pot their the ones I would use.

My friend decided to send the carb off to Pony Carbs and have it rebuilt.  Thanks~~~~~~Ron

Ron,

           Your buddy will be happy with everything but the price. They did mine on my F code, and I was happy except with some machine work in the fuel inlet. I can't really be sure they caused the problem. The rest of the carb was beautiful. It runs over 100mph in the quarter mile, so it must work!
