Engine What did this Carb belong to?

[PSully76]

I have recently acquired the sought after MC2100 carb with 1.08 Venturi’s to replace the Chinese Carter BBD on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6. I am confused to what this carb belonged to beforehand and would like to see what y’all think. I thought most of these carbs came with electric chokes but this one seems to be missing the “body” part of the choke and the mounting point for the throttle cable seems different compared to what i’ve seen in photos of other peoples swaps. Any information or opinion is much appreciated!

It's missing a lot TBH. They came on a wide variety of vehicles. For instance a 72 bronco with the 302 and many more

That is a fantastic carb. A 2100 is great to work with. You can add a choke.
Please see these for an in depth article and parts list. We have many more in our documents section.

The Tag looks like it has a Ford Part Number. It was Remanufactured by a Rebuilder for OEM companies. Fred Jones Mfg.

Those Cable Brackets look like it has a Manual Choke set up.
Good News, Getting a Rebuild with that Tag Number is going to save you a lot of headaches.

And my Nickel.95 on working on Carburetors.......find a BIG Cardboard BOX to work inside
on it. Kinda like a blast cabinet.
Its Surprising what Tiny Little Springs, Check Balls, One Off Clips, will come Rocketing Out !!

And check out those sites CJ has..... learn from others experiences (Mistakes)

Yeah, I noted that as well. This was a Facebook marketplace buy for $40. Do you think I could buy a cheap Chinese knock off and rob the hard parts off of it?

Sorry to say, yes...
Can you supply images.

I appreciate the tips and tricks.

Another thing, I couldn’t find a matching rebuild kit on mikescarburetor.com. Granted, a lot of the rebuild kits are the same. But I couldn’t find one specifically for a “D3TZ” carb.

I want to regroup. The carb you posted is a great carb.
What is next?

A Rebuild. I want to completely disassemble it, get a decent rebuild kit and figure out what all parts i need to convert it to an electric choke. It seems like the choke flap/rod is bent as well. I was wondering if i could get a cheap chinese carb and use the hard parts (I.E. choke flap/rod, accel pump rod) and use them as replacements for this carb.

It was hard to find a Mc2100 with 1.08 venturi’s so i’d like to do all i can to make this work.
