Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than the Carter YFA

I have a 63 f100 that has 200ci and .60 over the 269. I had a Carter YFA and it worked fine but when the engine came out of the break-in period it caught at high water, too much cfm. I had a 170sp engine with a YF crankcase and rebuilt it but it ran very poorly and without the help of YFAS parts it would not accelerate let alone idle. I soon found this carburetor and was reluctant to buy it as I've never had good luck buying carburetors. But trust me! When I installed it, filled the fuel tank, set the timing and cranked it up, it worked like a seeder, carter can't compete with this carb. If I ever decide to repair the 170 if I don't steal parts from it, I WILL BUY AGAIN.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Fine
