Carb rebuild kit. Identification of carb

DocDave · Post by **DocDave** » April 22, 2009, 4:48 pm

Someone removed the tag from the carb on my 65 F100,300 I6 (Standard trans, no power brakes). It's original to the truck but I cant order the rebuild kit without this info.
Anyone have a common make part number for this kit so I can order it. Or does anyone have the info for this carb? It's just a single barrel that needs a float adjustment and a needle seat replacement.
Thanks
Dave

I just yesterday rebuilt a 300 carb. This one didn't have a tag either. We used the number stamped on the carb base and got the right kit. I paid $38.00 for the kit for this carb. The price range was from $6.00 to $38.00. Of course my carb had to be the most expensive. It was for a 1981 F100 4 speed, my sisters new truck. The carb is back on the truck otherwise I would have included a picture.
If you can't find a kit send me the number and I will try to find a kit and send it to you.

Thanks for the info. I may have an old carb that doesnt show the numbers we're looking for.
There is only a few small casting numbers llike "26" on the carb body and a few in other places. My son will post pics of the carb soon so we can maybe get some more ideas.

Here are some pics of the carb. If you have rebuilt this one (65 300 I6) and you have the number for the kit, let me know. I cant find any numbers on the body that mean anything.
Thanks
Dave

Dave: I think that would be the Autolite 1101 one barrel carb. Went through 4 during the 25 years I had my 66. Fairly easy to re-build. I took the carb down to NAPA and they gave me the rebuild kit for the last go around.

Hey I am Daves son Chris, I suspected it was an autolite 1101 and called Napa a couple days ago. They told me they didn't have a listing and I needed to find the tag info for it.

Thanks Ras. You wouldnt happen to have the NAPA box still would you?
Hey Chris, be gentle on that old beast. If we cant find anything for a kit I'll have to see what a rebuilt is worth. Check the parts for sale section for something within a thousand miles of you.
