Gat'79 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Does anyone know the difference between the E2SE and the 2SE? Would both fit my V6 2.8l? Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEEP_cannible Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If I could I would probably replace it with the pergresive Holly 2brl. More parts,jets,Can be adapted to almost anything,and easy to work on.Unless you want to keep it all stock. Ford has used them on tons of cars,and small trucks over the years.We even adapted them to VW's. I bet they even sell an adapter for the V6's. Just an idea I thought I would throw out there.

Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk It's likely that one is electronically controlled and one is not. I'm with the others here, Holley or Weber, but that won't be cheap and to get the full benefit you'll likely want an intake change. I've shipped parts to PR so I know for a fact that getting parts there is not an issue, price/cost may be though. Intake and carb will probably be in the $600 to $700 range.

I'm definitely not that flush, I'd like to get something under 200. Sure, she takes loads, but for the most part is it my daily driver.If someone knows of a place or has rebuilt ones I would like it before the end of the new week.thanks ya'll Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Did you check rockauto? If they don't sell the carb, they probably sell the rebuild kit. Rebuilding it should only take a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gat'79 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 What a terrible time living on a mountain in a new town. So, my mission today was to take out the Carburetor and walk 4.5 miles into town.I woke up and there happen to be a mecánico working across the street. (What are the chances) I beat the carburetor on top.l of the float and it moved the obstruction. I let it run and talked the mecánico who called someone who gave another number who said, "take it out and I get to it maybe Saturday for delivery on maybe Tuesday". I don't have another vehicle to drop it off plus I fly to San Diego Tuesday.I drove the truck to the first guy in another mountain, who I explained the problem to and he called his brother, on another mountain, who said bring it tomorrow morning at 7am and I will fix it right away. This will be the 2nd carburetor build I will watch and hopefully the last, fore I will. learn how to do it. And to think, living in Colombia, if you call a mecánico in the AM he will arrive to your farm in the afternoon and fix the problem if you can't. All for a house call fee of 6 dollars. Thanks everyone for you input. This Comanche is really an awesome truck and rare, but it is taking my pocket for a ride. Thank the universe I can do most everything myself with my limited knowledge because I cannot afford the top of the line parts nor mecánicos. Again, thank you.
