Autolite 4300 carburettor

Most four barrel equipped Fords, up until the XC range, and excluding some of the HO or Phase cars, were fitted with Ford’s own Autolite 4300 carburettor. There are conflicting opinions regarding this carb, but it is now generally accepted to have been a far better carb than most Holley-holics ever gave it credit for. Here are a couple of photos.





Note the Autolite tag on both carbs at the front attached by one of the carb top screws, and the vertical heat shield for the choke heat mechanism; parts that can easily get lost over the years.
