It is a 2 barrel Motocraft that apparently isn't stock to Dodges. My FIL is using it with an adapter plate. He mentioned it might have been on a Ford. Anyhow, it needs to be rebuilt and I want to get a rebuild kit to give to him, so I can't ask too many questions. I had to sneak these pictures on Christmas while my MIL was keeping him busy.
Additionally, if anybody has a spare carb of this kind laying around (or one that will just work in a 360 swapped D150 with a 904A transmission) I might be interested in picking it up as a spare.
Hey,
Ford carbs of that vintage typically have a small metal ID tag retained by one of the float bowl screws. That's your secret sauce for figuring out what it is.
Are you and the fil sure that the ignition system is solid?

The most common and simplest Ford carb of the 70s and 80s. Dead simple to rebuild. They use the same power valve as a Holley 4bbl, which is the most common failure point if it's running rich.
The truck sat for a few years after the transmission blew. We got a replacement transmission in, he drove it down the street and it died coming back down the hill. He did the plugs, wires, etc. so he's thinking carb now.
You're saying if I take the top of the carb off and look inside, there should be an ID tag?
I have one in a tub all torn down and waiting for reassembly. Carb kits are cheap and you couldn't ask for simpler. Buy a kit for a late 60s Ford truck with a 2bbl V8 and you'll have everything you need. The tag should be on top of the carb with one of the screws that holds the top on. Looks something like this:
Mine takes standard kit 586
Thanks for the replies. The main issue is this: there is no tag on top of the carb- the two pictures I posted are pretty much the entire top view with the air filter assembly off.
Those Standard kits like barefootskater posted usually have a variety of gaskets and such so they work on a wide range of carbs. Chances are if you bought the kit he pictured it would have all you need.
