Tried to fix your post to attract more attention. You left the discussion box empty - all is cool - each site works differently.


OK: Early 80s were the end of carbs as they were a total headache right from new. Especialy the VV "variable venturi" ones and folks switched them out in an effort to get a good dependable running vehihcle.

Get some part #s off the carb you have and a parts outlet should be able to help. Changing anything OE is tricky at best and near impossible when much newer that this,

PS: What carb is on it now?

Bigmom; If this is Federal emissions, the carb should be a 2150 Motorcraft 2bbl.
If California emissions, the carb should be a 7200VV Motorcraft 2bbl. which would be the infamous variable venturi piece of junk.
Edelbrock makes a very nice 'replacement' carb for either applications, much better than OE, IMO.

Gotta laugh Loren! Crown Vic police cars had those VV carbs and were so broken down all the time it was a town joke! Couln't catch a fast shopping cart!

We were just talking about those things, today. A Toyota came in with one. As far as I knew, the Fords only put them on vehicles that were 'destined' for sale in CA. Interesting. I think Toyota only used them one year, maybe two. About the same for Ford, if I remember. Our Snap-On dealer would rebuild those things for $150.00 (30yrs ago). What in the hell were they thinking? LOL.

Somehow Calif emissions were on lots of new cars sold here before it's now the same - CA and MA have same rquirement now - don't know when that became manditory??
