will a carb from a 73 f100 (302 motor) fit my 82 f100 302?. In the pic it looks exactly the same, but i would feel more comfortable if I knew for sure. I would think that being the ford staple for so long that the dimensions would be the same. It's a carb on ebay, item #290505380966. I mean this looks EXACTLY the same as mine. If one of y'all experts got a moment and can check it or at least let me know i would be most appreciative. Thx.

The jets on the inside maybe different and probly are,no emissions back then. You might want to get with RogueKill

Yea it should be fine, you might have to swap idle stop motor or something--what s the carb # on yours and what is the one on that? It does depend on emmissions.83 is right at the change point.

 

And why re you wanting to get another carb?? They are easier than a revell model to rebuild--- maybe ...maybe 10 parts-- I COULD EVEN WALK YOU THROUGH IT IF YOU JUST NEED TO OVERHAUL--DIDN'T YOU JUST PUT AN ACCELERATOR pump in it? That only leaves float and needle. PM me or you can call me at 719-359-2675

thx for the response roguekill. The carb itself would be 85 bucks...rebuilt already. My carb was rebuilt about a year and a half ago, but i'm not sure about the quality of the job.It probably is fine though. The only thing is that when i cut off the engine i get a strong exhaust/gas smell. When i had my 78 econoline(300 inline 6 single barrel) i failed emmissions in phoenix and had the same smell. Replaced carb and voila...no smell and passsed emmissions. Now in alabama there is no emmission or yearly safety check standard, but it is just something that i think about all the time with my current MPG being about 12-13 depending on where i gas up. Sorry to beat the dead horse but I always gotta have one subject to obssess over and (fortunately) my truck and its running is the subject, which means everything else in life is pretty good I guess(and/or hope). Thx again bud for your attention, this blithereing idiot really appreciates it.
