Summit Carburetor 500 cfm Electric Choke Initial Start 292 Ford Y Block 1955 Ford Fairlane 

Great documentation and sounds perfect. 👍

I figured that carb would be jetted just about right for about a 300 CI engine. I had to go up 3 primary jet sizes on that carb for my 390, increase the primary idle feed restrictors from .046" to .048" and I wound up increasing the idle feed restrictors in the secondary booster cluster .002" as well to smooth out my idle some since I set the secondary stop screw to be open a little more than how it came so I can keep my primary idle stop screw set so the transfer slots are about square. I really like how it runs on my 390. Great throttle response and picked up torque below 2000 RPM. It cold starts better and idles better cold than my 1850 Holley did also. There is a hidden choke pull off adjustment on those that the literature does not say anything about. If you look at the carb from the front, look at the choke housing assembly, right on the front there is what appears to be a little piece of glue or epoxy and under that is a flathead screw for adjusting the choke pull off. I gotta say, that's about one of the best sounding Y blocks I have heard.

Nice set of wheels. Good carb choice too. They used to be a Holley performer. All the best to you and yours Sir.

Ted Eaton was telling me that he has been having good luck with the Summit carbs when we were talking g about carb choice a while back too.

Wow, those instructions, well the pictures and explanation, are not very clear. These carbs are more or less copies of Autolite 4100s with a Holley twist, sold by Summit. So unless you are familiar with 4100s, one would probably not figure it out. Can't say I'm real excited about the external dual feed line. Glad you kept the camera rolling through fighting the issues! You were probably up on the fast idle cam the first time you backed down the idle. I've done it! Seems like a nice carb overall, it's one I have not yet played around with, but eventually would like to. Great video!

Open the throttle to let the choke cam fall. Gravity will pull it down.

That carb has easily changed idle feed restrictions and also accelerator pump discharge nozzles. To find out if the idle feed restrictions are rich or lean. Use an air fuel ratio gauge. Bring up rpms to around 1700. Just below when the primary boosters start to trickle If you get it just right. Your back tires will have very short lives.

I wonder if it's made in USA . I had a Autolite 2100 that just wouldn't idle . So I went low cost and got a 2 bbl off EBAY. It's made in China . It has a lower cfm and idles perfect but it's slower than the old one . Also the jetting was all wrong way too lean .

Hi Padre, how do you keep your intake so clean? Thanks Steve

Hey reverend. I have a 1957 Ford Custom 300 and I had a question. Not about the engine, but about the gas pedal. I have problems connecting the gas pedal to the arm and not sure now it works, ever since it broke off on me. Anyway I can get a photo of the backside of the gas pedal, or maybe some advice or instructions? I would appreciate it!

Sorry to bother, way off point here but can I custom fit 55 thunderbird valve covers to any other heads?

Good morning Reverend, just got a 1962 f100 uni with a 292 Y block. Where I’m from driving a manual is more of hassle than joy. Which automatic transmission can I put behind it that won’t require too many modifications. Thanks in advance.
