Video was made after 3,000 miles tested. Motocraft 2150 or 2100 direct bolt on carb from eBay or Amazon is a well designed well built carb. Many if not all parts directly swap to the OEM 2150. Stock jet size is a 48 and is perfect for a 351m in a 1978 ford bronco. Motocraft jets are interchangeable. Great carb for testing, cruising, and off-roading.

I bought one a couple of years ago for a 79 F250 with 400. Absolutely flawless right out of the box.

Glad you hear you had a similar experience. Thanks for the comment

@jeffreystroman2811 Год назад

I just put one on my farm truck, an F350 with a 351 windsor and a bucket crane on the back from 1983. I didn't even have to tune it, the vacuum pull off was jankie and needed some help, a little teflon tape and a new bolt, all good

@Notafordguy Год назад

Glad it’s working for you. Is the truck the same year as the crane?

I'm looking at one of these for my 327 Jeep Gladiator. Just afraid they were junk. I'll give it a try now. Great video

New subscriber! Jist picked up an old beater 1980 F150 custom with a 5.8l 351! It has a 2150 carb! Glad I found your channel, keep up the good work!

I bought a truck that had one on it when I got it. They never could get it to run right. It had a dead spot off idle. I took it off and got to looking at it and the linkage wasn't made right. It wouldn't pull the accelerator pump arm. I had to spot weld it to the throttle shaft to get it to work. So its very hit and miss with those carbs.

@Notafordguy Год назад

There must be different companies making the same carbs. Mine is spot on. Yet, I’ve seen others that are terrible. Oh yeah.

But did you measure the venturi size. 1.14 area, but mine is 1.21, and it's also the Chinese carb, but I got mine from a truck shop on Long Island for $85, a couple years ago. And the 2150 rebuild kit fits it too. I was surprised to see them on Amazon.

@TheThirdWheel618 10 месяцев назад

Great video thank you I had a Holly 350 I ran for years and loved it great power all throughout the range sorry I sold it for a 4bbl now prices new are ridiculous I paid 175 new now the same carb is 449. Im looking at the Holly knock off on e bay 229.00 I changed to a 600 4 bbl and i actually wasn't wowed😮 by it my but Dyno says vey little gain . I needed a 4 SPD for the high speed kickdown since a 3 spd auto will not kickdown over 50 mph but a 4 SPD will giving you 4th to 3rd kickdown I installed a Gear vendor and could had kept the 2bbl.

@Notafordguy 10 месяцев назад

My c6 will kick down at 30mph but I’m running 4.56 gears. Glad you enjoyed the video I appreciate the comment

I put an $18 Amazon carb on an 85 atc 200s and it fired up and runs. I don't know how long it will last, but so far so good. 👍

@davevan8864 3 месяца назад

My 74 AMC Matador OEM carb is a 2150. I bought this carb for it. Only issue was the trans kick down is different. Otherwise found it a great deal.

@TheGaginator 3 месяца назад

I am looking at getting one for my '72 Ambassador with the 2100 carb. I don't want to spend spend any more money on the 2 barrel system while searching for a 4 barrel intake.

@tcanthony2 Год назад

My 71 sat for 35 years. Bolted one up and it immediately idled.

@Notafordguy Год назад

I’m glad to hear that! Just have to keep the mice out of them now!

@philippinelife712 5 месяцев назад

I put one on a 79 351m. Idled great. Ran like crap. Found it has 48 jets. My original carb has 54. Can't swap them because the threads are different. Thanks, China. Can't find 54 jets in 5/16-24 thread. Had to leave it alone. The biggest problem though was that float setting was WAAAAY low. Super low. I bent it up to roughly match the setting on the original and it runs fairly well. Still not right but driveable. I would NOT buy one of these again. Re-jetting is impossible.

@Notafordguy 5 месяцев назад

A good tip is you can get mini drill bits for furnace repair and drill your jets out. Thanks for the comment

@historicyeti50 3 месяца назад

Just put one of these on a 400 in my 71 galaxie 500 2drHT, its overflowing pretty bad. Motor only has 17k on it and before it started overflowing it seemed to be running great

Float issue or pump issue maybe?

@Notafordguy Год назад

Truthfully could not tell you. Iv heard from many that eBay ones don’t match up parts with original 2150. I understand not wanting to mess with Amazon but for this carb I’d say it’s worth the time/hassle

@garyschwabel421 6 месяцев назад

So ii bought one for my 2.8 liter v6 and I could not get it to come off 1500 rpms you have any ideas

@Notafordguy 6 месяцев назад

I’d start with making sure the lower butterfly’s are closed completely, make sure there are no leaks in the base gasket, ensure your fuel pump isn’t over pressurized the carb spilling fuel over, check float height. Another good tip would be to take the carb off and make sure everything is tight. If something is loose fuel can bleed past and make it rev up. Let me know if you need more help. Thanks for watching.

@reallifehardtruth4465 6 месяцев назад

Have had my fair share of old fords. If its got close to 100,000 miles, a new timing chain and gearset will generally make them more happy also. Double roller more better. Not hard to install at all. Stock they have nylon gears, no bueno

@@Notafordguy you probably fired it up and 30sec later raved it and kicking the 4 in . Then going for a test run and kicking it first thing. I’m probably not far off 🤷‍♂️.

No real damage. The problem was actually the ignition box failed. I found two smoked lifters. Truck is back on the road and running great.

@dennisthomas4766 Год назад

90 percent of all carburetor problems is in the ignition system!!!!!! One time I had a 78 f150 that idled great but didn't have any power and took the top of the carb off pulled out the float and a speck of dirt was laying on a jet removed that put back together and truck ran great!!!!

@Notafordguy Год назад

I wish I had more people in my life to tell me wisdom like you! Grew up working on tractors and ignition system is rarely tuned or worked on. These classic v8 trucks is a completely different world.

@Bubbawbm Год назад

If you don't know what a Double Pumper is, you probably have no business offering advice on carburators. The carburators you described as double pumpers in your video are not double pumpers. A double pumper refers to the dual accelerator pumps on a Holley or Holley variant.

@Notafordguy Год назад

Yeah I was under the impression they were at a glance but you are correct. Single accelerator pump. I’m definitely new to the carburetor world. Really just trying to share my experiences.

@@Driven_Dragon I've got two summit carbs, one I've had for 10 years and they run better with better MPG than the holley carbs I ran on the same engines and I spent a lot of time tuning both the Holley and Summit carbs.

It was pretty good out of the box but I don’t think I can give a good recommendation until I have a few thousand miles. Definitely way more power!
