I'd try what Ted said. Idle with the top off. You might have a float with a hole in it.

Frank, no manifold yet, it's at customs, for almost a week. Must be some sort of worl reckord.



Well, the table survived, and so did I



I'm now having the strangest issue with the carb. The secondary bowl is flooding. The floats are in great shape, the needles are new, and I'm almost going crazy.

The Motorcraft 2100 I had before never had a flooding issue, so I thing it's not related to the fuel punp having too much pressure.

That carb looks great but how does the little women feel about having it in the house on her good furniture??

I am gulty of washing carb parts in the dishwasher and using the oven to heat press fit parts, I have also taken E-Bay photos of parts for sale on the living room carpet. Strangely, she still loves me.

No manifold yet?

I decided to put the carburetor on even before I get the intake from the mail, so I could start adjusting it. I used a Mr.Gasket adapter kit I had. The result is being very good, even without the intake, that will be installed later this month.

I even did a little video of the car running:

Well if it runs as good as it looks you should have no problems. Good looking piece. I might add that when I had one on my 56 you could add an aftermarket mechanical secondary to it. It was just a slotted piece of metal that attached to the rear barrels on the choke side of the carb. You also had to space out the rear diaphram cover so the vacuum part wouldnt work. I recall it working real good & never had problems with it bogging down when you got on it.

Thanks guys.



Everybody likes the old 4100, but I was worried about it being from a 289 engine, you know, if that could be bad, like the air bleeds being too large or too small, some issue with the sencondary venturis, or jets. I have a box full of Autolite 2100 parts, including jets, both bigger and smaller, so, this I can tune. I used my parts box to convert the 4100 from a automatic choke to a manual choque. The only non original part I used was a little epoxi to seal the little vacuum port that used to go to the inside of the choque chamber.



Hope it works ok when I get the intake manifold.



Here are some pictures of the carburetor:

After going thru 2 Holleys on my 56 Ford back in 68' I put a 4100 on it and never looked back. IMO its the best 4V you can run on the street. Simple carb thats easy to tune.
