Hello,
I recently purchased a 1969 Ford F250 4x4 and was told before I got to the truck that it had a 390 V8, but upon reading the air cleaner housing, which said 360, I determined the seller was misinformed, which is a side issue. The motor runs, but not with a lot of power and it feels like the timing is off. The carburetor also leaks fuel. I would like to change out the carburetor and then have the timing on the motor tuned in, but I do not know what carburetor works best for this truck. I'm not worried about cost too much. I'd really just like a well performing carburetor to get the thing running right and fed properly. I do intend to do some off roading in it from time to time, so that is something I need to take into consideration. Any suggestions or recommendations will be much appreciated. Thanks!
