I would like to find a way to put "annular discharge" on my stock 1100, thereby duplicating what Pony Carb used to do.


Is it possible?

Any ideas?

Tilley, Any progress on this quest? I've got a customer with a '65 Falcon, 170ci, and I'm looking into doing the same thing. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking about buying an annular fuel discharge nozzle for a Holley, and then figuring out how to attach it to the Autolite.

Actually, I may have just figured it out, but I need to order the Holley nozzle to make sure...

Keep me posted!

Will do. I've got a nozzle/booster on it's way. We'll see if my first theory is manageable, or if we need to figure out another option. From your photo, it looks like the booster Pony Carbs used was made in house. And actually I'm quite surprised of the lack of de-burring of the drilled ports inside that booster, given the reputation Pony Carbs had. I read another thread you made on the subject a year or so ago. Do you still have this carb you took photos of? I'd like to see the top side of that Booster.

Very long story...I sold it, but I was going to buy another one. The owner then died shortly after and the company went under. Stupid move on my part. I compared the Pony Carb with the regular 1100's, and the only real difference I saw was the annular discharge. I do believe they made the part in-house as well because it probably fit better being custom.

I was excited awhile back about recreating the Pony Carb, then it occurred to me an easier way to achieve this was to utilize an Autolite 2100 with the smallest jet fitting. They make a converter for this to mount it on the 1100 manifold. The fuel consumption is slightly greater than the Pony Carb, but I think the horse power achieved is greater with the 2100.

Please let me know how it goes for you.
