Does anyone know where there might be a new or rebuilt one barrel carburetor for a 1980 Ford pu - 300ci in-line 6 and or related parts? Also need a diagram of where the vaccuum hoses go. I am new here and not an active mechanic.

 

NAPA or any other parts store should be able to should be able to get the carb
There may be a sticker under the hood with vacuum line connections. Beyond that a repair manual will have the information

 

Evidently 1980 Ford 300ci inline 6 carburetors are the holy grail. NAPA,O'Reilly's, and Advanced Auto can't find a trace of one anywhere. A local junk yard told me all the vintage Fords on their property are without caburetors and the 300ci inline 6 motors go just as fast. Farmers love them to run their irrigation pumps. I have been told there may be a sticker with a hose diagram under the hood. I haven't checked. I am rebuilding the carb I have and should be running in a few days. Thank you for the reply.

 

Hopefully the rebuild will work out ok. If not I just looked on Rock Auto.com and they list 3 different options as available. About $250.00 wo a core.
Plus there are aftermarket options available from Summitt racing that can be adapted. Or maybe spice it up a bit with a offenhauser intake and a 4 barrel
Had one on a previous truck and it really woke it up.
Have fun

 

Thank you so much. This was the sort of tip I was looking for. I'm not computer savvy so I don't do well looking for things on the internet unless directed. I will check out Rock Auto and Summit. Getting a new carb is still my first preference. Don't think I will try making a hot rod out of old RUSTY, but look forward to getting him running decent.
Thank you again!
