man !rebuild nightmare, wonder if it work

[sacramento_ford]

well i started to rebuild my 2bl autolite 2100.but ended up messing it up cause i has to drill out the brass jets that that stripped. and over drilled, so went to pick and pulll , ended up getting a different one on accideent, they looked the same till i started it, My question is they looks the same but werent, i had to
get some parts off this one and had to go back and forth, i finally got it together, we will see if it starts, but are these carbs able to work with parts from different older ford carb, the other one looked like a 2100 , but maybe it was for a differrent engine or stick

there are different sizes of the 2100 it is dependant on whihc size engine it is mated to. there is also a 2150 and i think so on. i have swapped parts from one autolite to another with no problems before. but i think they were real close in the same size and model.

yeah they were simular, chose thing was different, lower port was there but thank god there was a fitting, i would have benn screwed, thottle plates were different, smaller, starting it tommorow, im 50/50 , i can rebuild a 2100 blindfolded afterthat

if the throttle plate was smaller then it is for a smaller enigne than what yours is for.

That's what I was gonna say. Look at the size of the throttle plates. You'll prolly have to measure them with calipers to see any difference.
