What kind of carburetor does a 1956 Ford Fairlane Club have?
On “Lemonade” the original Holley 4000 4-barrel “teapot” carburetor was replaced with a more-dependable, (1958-up) new Holley 4160 390-CFM 4-barrel carb with vacuum secondary and electric choke, that sits on a refurbished (1957-up) 1957 Ford “B” intake manifold.
Can a 350 CFM 2 bbl Holley be used as a carburetor?
If it’s the latter, a 350 CFM 2 bbl Holley works just fine. I checked with Lokar and thier AOD TV Cable adapts to holley and edelbrock. The equalizer arm has two holes in it, one for holley and the other for edelbrock. In my case, they said thier cable kit would bolt right up to any edelbrock thunder series carb.

What kind of carburetors did a 1957 Fairlane 500 use?
1957 Fairlane 500, 312 4-bbl, Fordomatic. In my dealings with the three 4V carbs that were offered on the 1957 312 engines, the only consistency I’ve found is the Holley 4V carb being the only carb offered on the 312 equipped Thunderbirds.
What kind of carburetors did a 1957 Mustang use?
Can’t comment on which of the mentioned carbs were used on particular models. However, as noted, the 1957 1st yr Autolite 4100 used on some Fords was altered somewhat for 1958 & later use. It was also original equipment on some early Mustangs.
What was the carburetor on a 1957 Holly 4100?
Worked great on the ’58 after shortening the spring on the secondary diaphragm a bit to get the secondary’s to open at the same time the tires stopped spinning on takeoff. Had similar 292’s later on with the Holly 4100 or 4150 and didn’t notice much difference.

As to the AFB on the Mercury, the AFB carb and intake that I installed on my otherwise stock 292 in a ’58 Ford back in ’63-64 came off of a ’57 Mercury. Worked great on the ’58 after shortening the spring on the secondary diaphragm a bit to get the secondary’s to open at the same time the tires stopped spinning on takeoff.
