Review on Ford 1957 1960 1962 Carburetor KIPA 1 Barrel for 144 170 200 223 6-Cyl 4-Cyl - Replaces 1904 Holley with Manual Choke by Jason Cartwright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great carburetor: carburetor

I installed this carburetor on a 1964 Scout 80 replacing a leaking 1904 Holley. I knew in advance that the connection was the opposite of my existing setup, but I was up for the challenge. Installation went well but I noticed that the supplied gasket could not be used as the 'X' allowed air to enter between the manifold and the base. After installation I found that the fuel tank float was sticking and not letting fuel into the tank (either factory or when shipped). With that settled, the old International 152cid immediately caught fire and purred like a kitten. At the moment I can highly recommend this carburetor. This is not a high end branded device so time will tell if it will hold up and I will update as needed but for now the ease of installation and price CANNOT be better.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Minor problems
