Re: motorcraft 4300 carb info
Vic, yes the 4300D came on many 460`s, but it seems that all the 460`s in the SS/GT classes run the 74 version, which had a Carter ThermoQuad available as well as the 4300D.

Re: motorcraft 4300 carb info
i use both needle and seat assemblies in the carb. Primary and aux, and run 9 # of fuel pressure. No flooding issues. Also since the float bowl area is so small i run a number 10 line from the regulator to the carb inlet which helps act as a log and hold reserve fuel.

Re: motorcraft 4300 carb info
I've always run both the primary and secondary needle and seat assemblies. I do run a return style regulator. Like I said, just under
7#'s has not been an issue. I did purchase one ofthe Gross-Jet assemblies. They sent the wrong p/n twice and I gave up. Never did get my money back either!

Re: motorcraft 4300 carb info
Tom, i made my needle and seat. Use the same needle and drilled the seat bigger i think i got it like .120 or so cant really remember. Havent had any problems with it so ive left it alone. The aux needle and seat assembly was in the carb and ive never changed it.

Re: motorcraft 4300 carb info
Same thing I did on mine, drilled to .120". .......I'll have to see if I can scrounge up an aux needle and seat to try. I typically run 7#, 9# in good air with just the one inlet, but I know when I jet it up in really good air,it tends to nose over at about 1200'.. .....You can see the A/FR go lean at that point,so the aux valve will definately help .....Suprisingly this is the most anyone has been willing to talk about these carbs. .....The few Ford guys who run them are usually very protective of their info. ........Tom
