66 Bronco project

[LUBr LuvR]

Not sure where you are getting the carb from, the 66 was pretty much a 1 year carb that you don't want to turn in for a core. I believe it's Michaels Carburetor that has parts and a good video. Even replacement bowl vent rods. It's the plastic looking rod on the top of the carb.

Here’s the contact info:

The carb would be the right one for the vehicle, just not the right one for the intake you have.

Just discovered something which really confuses me now. I just discovered that the carburetor I have for this vehicle doesn't even fit in the holes don't lineup it's too small. I inherited this bronco after my father-in-law died, and it's been sitting in my garage for quite a few years. I am in the garage somebody brought it in to have it repaired and they never came back and got it. This was in 1995. I just assume the carburetor in the box in the back of the vehicle was the one that went on the engine but evidently it's not now I've got to try to find out what is going on because the one that was in the box is an Autolite 1100 type carburetor. Another strange thing is the bolt holes for the carburetor are angled. Most of the pictures I've seen online of other peoples engines the bolt holes are not angled. Might have to make my way to the Ford dealer to find out what actually came on this vehicle.

You're missing the plate that goes between the carb and intake.

This was the one on my 66. Not sure if actual OEM.

Well that makes sense now. Does water run through that plate? It looks like it has a hoes connection.

Saga continues, after a visit to my local Ford dealer where my buddy is the parts manager we discovered the date stamp on the block is 1968 and the stamp on the head/intake is 1970. I am guessing a reman engine was put in the vehicle but never finished. I am assuming it is a 170 and not a 200. Looks like what I need is the carb adapter plate to make these carbs fit right.

Well the 170 will have 3 freeze plugs and the 200 will have 4 freeze plugs.

Your head is definitely a later large flat top log as seen in the pictures. And with my glasses on. If you have the complete casting numbers it could narrow down if it is a 200 or 250 head and what revision year. The log total cfm and the valve sizes increased through the years. And the carb bore size. There is a universal 250 cfm single barrel carb I have seen discussed on fordsix.com that is well liked.

I see where you have the points distributor. For an improvement you can go with a DSII ignition. Then keep your old points stuff in a box like I do in case I need it. I haven't in 40 years but you never know.
