i feel a little dumb now ya'll, I dont know very much about carbs, I just assumed that all i would have to do is buy a carb and slap it on, so i found a 650 cfm holley carb off ebay for like 60 bucks or so, but I didnt really pay that much attention to any of the info, cuz i didnt really know..

well my friend looked at it and said he doesnt know where the downshift cable would connect to it.. so im first worried that its a manual transmission carb, if there is sucha thing.. second after i bought it, i found that the numbers on it bring up info on old fords, so i think i bought a stock ford carb.

and lastly, if this is some ford carb, will it bolt up? will we be able to use it with my 700r4? will i be able to buy the proper brackets for the tv cable? im really confused and worried that i screwed myself over.

That's a Ford service part. You'd have to do some work on it to make it friendly to your transmission. Probably not worth the trouble.

 

shoot.. thats what i was afraid of.

 

any other numbers on it? like 1850 or 80453? should be on the front of the choke tower.

 

Even if you were to get a chevy one, youll have to get a tv correction bracket, or a slotted stud to bolt onto the linkage to get the tranny cable to line up right and snap on.

Also, Holley has a nifty little carb calculator on their website. You should check it out, it will tell you which carb is right for you.
