What is correct carburetor for 1970 2V cleveland.

[Royce]

DOOF-T is for a 351W-2V with FMX.

So no, your Cleveland 351 should not have that carburetor.

Can anyone tell me what is the correct Autolite carburettor for a 1970 cougar 2V Cleveland with FMX.

Car was built 27 May 1970 at Dearborn, no A/C, but with P/S, P/D.

At present it has a 2100 Motorcraft (1.21) carburettor, with a Autolite tag being D0OF T, date being “0D 23” being 23rd of April 1970.
Distributor is D0OF 12127 U.

My guess is it should be a 2100 Autolite (1.23) D0OF L ?

Made curious by this thread, I went and dug up the original carb for my '70 'vert built in late-March of '70. It’s a D0OF T with date code 9M15. The car was a 351C 2V FMX with no A/C as built.

Arrrrrrrrrh, bugger, are you saying I still got the wrong carburettor? Ha! well I am sticking with this one now.

But I am curious as to what is difference between the D0OF T and the D0OF L ?

Can you have a look at the base of your carburettor and tell me what the model number is, the venturi size is, and the date cast into the clock?

I have paste a picture of what I believe is how to tell what carburettor you have without a tag.

In the model number, the first integer “0” (zero) is year of decade, in this case 1970.
Second is a letter which represents the vehicle model the carburettor was first released on, in this case a Fairlane.
The “L” is the version.
So the carburettor below is a D0OF 9510 L
with a 1.23 venturi (356 cfm)
cast 3 week of June 1970.

Well, that is my guess, anyone is welcome to correct or add more.

DOOF-T is for a 351W-2V with FMX.

So no, your Cleveland 351 should not have that carburetor.

Except we have mine and one other that appear to have left the factory with them on 351Cs in Spring of '70. I suppose it’s possible mine was a service replacement or something but it’s the VIN correct motor and the car had 54k documented miles on it when I got it.

Then again, at some point my car got a big block radiator and fan so who knows?

Hi I’m new to the Group as from Australia. I have a 1971 Falcon Ute that was factory fitted with a 351 Cleveland, as your aware these were imported to Australia. My engine is an April 1970 Manual engine. Vehicle is currently under full restoration and but require a Autolite 2100 carburettor as was missing upon purchase. Have obtained a picture of another vehicle same as mine with the Carb Tag Information (Autolite tag being D0OF-U) I’m interested in obtaining a Carb as close to original as possible am not sure if this all corresponds to the distributor as per this restored item (Autolite Distributor D0OF-T 0F3) that is original to engine.
Thanks again as all information on this page is a great read Cheers.

The Falcon XY 2V cleveland with manual trans would have had a D0OF-K with a 1.23 venturi and 351 cfm. The auto would have been D0OF-L.
