Ok, i need some help. I have titled my 56 fairlane and want to start driving her. How ever a cheap way to correct my problem is to remove the 2100 carb and put the original intake and holley 4000 back on to set timing where it needs to be.

Problem is i cant wait 8 weeks to mail my carb off to have it professionally restored by the old carb doctor. So i am looking at reman carbs to get by for now.

My old carb is part number ECZ-9510-M, which my parts and illustration guide says is for a 292 or 312. The list number is 1161-2 which i find out is a 312 list number.

My set up is a 292 with ford-o-matic. I figure this is the original carb to the car. I wasnt able to locate a reman 1161-2 carb but i did find a 1161-1 carb reman for a respectful price.

Question is whats the difference between 1161-1 and 1161-2? I found the 1161-1 is also stated as a 312 carb but nothing about automatic or standard.

Im wondering if i buy the 1161-1 to get by with for now if it will work on my application to drive around some till i qm qble to mail my 1161-2 carb off?
