Progress Thread 4bbl Carb For '66 Gt 289

Hi All...
My first post... I have a '65 GT Fastback 289 A/C, Pwr Steering, Automatic...
My Holley is too big and want to go back to OEM/Original period. I believe 1.08 venturi is (480CFM) .
I see a 1.08 4BBL for sale but has code of C6SF A.
Owner said it's for a 390 engine... Would this still run good on my car??
Thanks Richie

yes it will run fine on your engine, though it might be a bit rich since the 390 likely uses larger main jets. not a big deal though, you just need to get some smaller jets and swap them in place. but before tuning the carb, run it first.
 
its been a long time, but as i recall, if you cant find ford jets for the carb, i believe holley jets will fit nicely, but i think they have a different nomenclature regarding jet sizing. but it has been about 25 years since i dealt with one in tuning.
