I need to move my '66 as soon as possible. I need to rebuild the carb but I'm not sure which one it is. It's a 2bbl on a 289. The VIN says it should have the "K" code 289. It's obvious it's not the hipo anymore :( , but I have no way of knowing what it was swapped with. I can't find a tag or any stampings. Got any guesses?

is it an autolite? or some other brand? If you need to rebuild it send it to ponycarburetors.com . Although you might try to fix the carb urself(depending on how bad the condition is of the carb).
 
Well, now my dam computer shows the image of the carb. Yep that looks like a stock autolite carb. I still have the original one from my car, but the previous owner screwed it up(so he gave it to me).
 
Autolite 2100, no doubt about it. The throttle bore size is cast into the driver's side of the fuel bowl, behind the accellerator pump rod. They originally had a metal tag attached to one of the bowl screws to id it. Not all 2100 kits are the same, they changed the floats sometime in their history. Better off replacing it with a Holley 2 bbl anyway. Either the Holley 350 or 500 cfm is a bolt on swap here. The 500 will give it about a 20 hp boost over the 2100. 4bbl performance in a 2 bbl package. If that 2100 has a 1.21. 1.23 or 1.33 cast into it, that's a bonus. The dirt track crowd will pay top dollar for those, especially the rare 1.33 bore 2100's.:nice:
 
I think I remember seeing 1.14 stamped there in a little circle. Anyway to tell the year before I by a kit (don't want to get the wrong float stuff). I can't afford a new carb, and the car has to be moving by Thursday.
