No real progress this week, but the new carb has arrived. It is not new, but it is new for the car. I have opted to replace the Ford Carburetor Autolite 4100 C5AF-AA with a Holley 4160. This is in line with what was available for original purchase and constitutes an upgrade in performance. The 4160, although a workhorse, will be shelved for possible future use or sale. 
The Holley does have some positives as well as negatives. The ease of adjustment and performance should offset any negatives. Although this carb looks like it is ready to go, I will be rebuilding and restoring it over the next few days to new condition. Even though it is a little 80's, I will be painting the carb with Eastwood carb paint. Why not restore the carb to the original luster while rebuilding it?
