mc2100 carb help

[sapulpa cj]

can someone here help identify this carb?

it is marked 1.08 on the bowl and has a 8FFA on the base plate.

there is also a number BDI2 A7L2 on the tag.

i got lucky and found this in a shed at a local bone yard and am wondering if it will work ok on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ?

any help will be appreciated before i start throwin money at this swap.

thanks in advance.

That almost looks like the stock MC2100 that came on a AMC 304 , I might just be able to dig you up a p/n for a rebuild kit for it that includes a new choke pull-off and everything


edit: I didn't really answer your question, yes that will work perfectly. Here's a couple of links to help you out for parts

The two sites that I added to my last post will help you out with most of the parts you need. NAPA went and completely changed their website, I can't find a gawd forsaken thing now

I'll keep digging for a rebuild kit for that thing, I may still have a couple of websites saved that can help identify exactly which vehicle that carb came off from.

As for the manual choke, any auto parts store sells manual choke conversion kits for $20 or less.

i put the number from the tag on the original post...........................chris

 

[IOPort51]

yep, you sure did.

I don't know how to read this number but it is what the parts house asks for when you buy the kit. I wonder why it does not show up on this page?

I have to admit it was getting late last night and I gave up. I'll have to look again when I get home from work, there is a site, and I think it was Canadian based, that would tell you exactly what the numbers on the tag stood for.

BDI2 A7L2

The first four numbers had to do with what make, model and year of vehicle it was on. BDI not sure, but the 2 probably means 1972. Then the second four numbers are for the carburetor itself. I'll dig around a little more tonight when I get home. I'll find it...

I know right??? What were they thinking??

 

[elwood blues]

I knew I'd find it: Carburetor Rebuild Kits, Carburetor Restoration, Manuals, Floats, Chokes, Choke Pull Offs and Parts

I've ordered parts from them before, they took a little longer because the parts have to clear customs first, but it was good quality stuff.

Ford Carburetor Numerical Index​

Ford carburetor numbers came in several series. Starting in the late 1950's they usually consist of an alphanumeric code. The first letter of the number represents the decade and the next number is the year. So, C9AF means 1969, D9AF means 1979 and so on.

I haven't been able to find BDI2 A7L2, can you take a close-up picture of the tag?
