Know it should be an Autolite 2100, but what number?
April 30 '68 San Jose build. C4. Sold in California.
-
C8AF-L if with IMCO, C8AF-AK if with Thermactor Emission control (both 289's).
-
Same carb as used in all the other states ;) Just depends on if the car was an automatic or manual trans
-
Have been advised elsewhare "The correct carb for your Cal Special would be a C8ZF-G 1.08;"
Is there a refernce that list all these varaints? I have one that lists the -G and the -L, but no clarification of what the differnce in the application of the two is, as the car has no Thermactor stuff the -AK seems out of the running.......
Anyone know the difference in the -L and -G??? and which would apply to this car? Cal Special if it makes any difference, which I doubt...

My bad...C8AF-L with IMCO, automatic
C8AF-L with IMCO and automatic
C8AF-AK with T/E and manual
From Mannel's book Mustang and Ford Small Block V8.

No ref to the -G? Told -L was for other lines of 289 cars and the -G was for Mustangs... and also told -L and -G are pretty mcuh the same expect for the tag (odd). Have a line on a -G with a perfect date code...
Seems that are all pretty much the same thing as the service replacemnet across the board for many 2100's is the same...

Richard, I think I have a G tag lying around somewhere. Its yours for the asking (if I can find it)

Thanks Tim, I have a guy who will sell me a rebuilt, run-on-engine tested, -G for $200, looked like a good price. Just trying to sort out the difference... thanks for the offer! If it doesn't show up with the tag I'll let you know! Appreciate the offer....

There is a C8ZF-G listed. This is for Mustang automatics with IMCO. Sounds like you are good to go with a -G.

Thanks! It's on the way and should be here in a week or so and on the car the following weekend!!!
