RE:Holley 4V/Carter AFB/Autolite 4100? |

You keep scanning more stuff I have to print! Wish I had those book/brochures. BTW, I do have the 1960 and 1961 "Police Interceptor" package brochures. Very interesting that they mention a special high lift hydraulic cam just for the PI 352 of 1960.
You mentioned that the Holley 4V carb was new design that year. What's interesting is the number of '58 352s I've seen over the years that came with either a Carter AFB or Autolite 4100. Purely from memory and from the one that I have, most that I've seen were equipped with the AFB. The carb used may have had something to do with the transmission? My rust bucket wagon has the Fordomatic.
Again, all of this is very interesting to me. I do remember seeing quite a few '58/'59 T-birds with the MEL 430. One of my uncles had one he bought new and drove through '62. Nothing too special, just a cruiso and the big MEL. My uncle would allow me, a 12 year old greaser, to drive it around the block once in awhile. If I'd mow his lawn, he'd let me drive my favorite, his '50 Ford with stick/O.D. and warmed up flattie.Then if I'd wash his 'bird and the '50, I got a ride on the back of his Triumph Bonneville. |
