Ford Autolite 2100 Series Carburetor
The 1966 Autolite 2100 series carburetor was used on the 289 cubic inch engines that received 2 barrel carburetors. It was used through 1970 across the entire Ford Lincoln and Mercury car and truck line. The carburetor was first used in 1954 so it had a life span of many years. Most small block carburetors are very similar however if you are going to the junk yard to get one, try to get one off a similar year vehicle and do not try to install a big block 2100 on a small block engine or visa-versa. Once you have your carb, generally if you purchase a quality rebuild kit you can rebuild the carb and use the specs for your year.
As the carburetor evolved, it added some nice features that made it easier to adjust and keep in tune. it also added a few different vacuum ports and anti-pollution ports. by keeping in the same year(s) as closely as possible linkages and other features should line up. It also helps when replacing your worn out carb to have it along while shopping for your new carb!
