Thread: Carb adapter

  1. #1

    Default Carb adapter

    I have a 86 ranger with the 2.0 motor I was told a 2.3 intake will work I’m looking for a adapter to run a Holley 4412 carb but bolt patter is bigger than mine. It had a motorcraft 2 bbl on it

    A two-able is doable.

For a minute, I thought I was going to have to run an electric, which would be a step backward in reliability. I've seen trail vehicles stranded when the electric pumps failed. I ran one on my Samurai, but kept a spare in the glovebox.

    Then I realized the Ranger application flipped the pump upside down. Duh.

    It still may interfere with the power steering pump/bracket though.

    Next problem. The fuel bowl points the fuel line at the valve cover. Had to swap fuel bowls to get the correct orientation.

    4x4's should use a center hung float bowl.

    Bent a fuel line and attached a new 5/16" hose to the pump inlet.

    You take a Redline 2100/2150/2300 series carb adaptor and redrill it to suit a Weber 32/36 or 38 DG series bolt pattern.



    1.2100 Autolite

    2. 2150 Motorcraft

    3. 2300 series Holley 2-bbl

    4. 2CG Rochester all have the same 1.8125" blade spacing between the two barrels,


    The first three have the same base bolting arrangement.

    The staged and simultaneous 2-bbl Weber, Holley Weber, Carter Weber and 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS/ 38 DGES are all different, 46.5 by 96.5 mm spacings or whatever that is in imperial.

    If legal, any 350 or 500 cfm 2-bbl Holley can be rejetted, and its a cleaner carb than the Holley Weber 5200 or 6200 series.

    The diagram is in line Pinto and foreign Falcon X-flow relevent only.

    But a Durasprk/ 4412 500 Holley swap can make well over 150 hp with ease if the right cam, igntion and carb settings are used.

    On the Pinto with Holley Weber 5200/6500, they have a funny bracket. Sorry, A is not really of any concern to us here. I shoulda been more clear.

    Throttle B
    Kickdown C





    The whole throttle linkage linkage from the Autolite/ Motorcraft carb needs to be attached to the Holley 2300 linkage, by bolting, flitching, or by some safe, prudent method that doesn't have stuff falling off into the active parts of the throttle shaft, tv rod, accelerator cable, or Cruise control cable.

    On my low mount Locar style adaption, I duplicated the Ford AOD like Chrysler downshift cable by using a Rochester carb throttle and a brass window opening shaft connected by very good brass screws cut down and locked into place.
