My estate sale bought '55 2 door V8 badged sedan has a 1959 Cleveland(CF) B9AE-F in it.There is no dot on the crank flange so I'm guessing its a 292.The intake ECB-9425-B,also CF,has the integral choke but also has the wide mount for later style 4 barrels.It had a tagged '66 Ford 4 barrel with electric choke on it,but in the trunk was an earlier but non-working clogged up version of that carb with no choke housing at all that after running the numbers seems to be off an Edsel.Since the older carb mated up perfectly to the choke on the manifold it would seem that the older carb was the original carb.Also to accomodate the gas pedal linkage someone enlarged the factory hole through the firewall by cutting upward about an inch.I'm at a loss as to why they did that if all Y-blocks were the same casting dimensions,and just what this engine was from.Needless to say the old guy that owned it passed on and nobody at the estate knew a thing about it.By the way,I put an Edelbrock 650 manual choke carb on it and it now runs much much better.I did have to put a spacer between the carb and manifold to clear that integral choke.Anybody here have any ideas?One other thing...the three on the tree shifter has been flipped over to the left side of the steering wheel.It is functional but backwards/upside down pattern.Was this a custom trick from back in the day?Thanks.........Phordric
