Hey Jeff - you're probably aware of this by now - but when you wondered why John peened over the top of the float needle. Apparently, this is one of the versions. Per copy on Mikes carburetor for part# NS561: "There is more than one style needle and seat assembly used in these carburetors, match your existing assembly to the part photo to be sure you're ordering the correct one. The other style typically used is a one piece assembly." Anyway, I love your channel. It's the first place I look for so many things related to my 351C '70 Cougar Eliminator...from suspension to drum brake conversion and Pertronix...to the 4300 carb rebuild!! Thanks !! Your first video helped me break the carb down, and I'm putting it back together with this one...after I get my secondary bypass plug from Mikes carb parts!!

Thanks for the kind words! I am currently looking for a really good 4300 guy for modified cars. Think Pure stock drags, to help me with tuning the 4300D.
Just want to say this video is helping a lot! I've got the 4350 for my Ford 460. It's confusing, especially since this is my first time working on a carb! But so far everything's been super similar between the two, so at least I had a base to go on
Best show on the web.
BTW...... That "Cap" you referred to, in front under the Float... Is a Ford retrofit Plug, that used to be a Secondary Enrichment Valve. The Valve, only fitted to 4400s and 4400Ds, was causing an overrich condition when the Secondaries were opened. It was found that on anything but the 429SCJ and 460 Engines - any Valve was too rich! The Plug improved Driveability. I'm a Retired Ford Tech and Engine Builder. Also an ASE Master Tech in Carburetor Tuning and Overhaul, EFI, Ignition, Suspension and Driveability.... Nobody will let me Host a Show, so I like to expunge Knowledge whenever I can. 😉

Zep Super Degreaser works really good for cleaning the carb. Better than simple green.
If you need that spring for the power valve, check with Mikes Carburetor Parts Also has the new floats.

We use Mike's a lot. Just put the Electric choke conversion from them on the F100.
I just sold one of these. Good job on the video. Also, I liked your articles when you were with Mustangs Monthly.

Thanks! Love doing what I am doing now. WAY more immediate.
Does that air damper rod and piston go all the way to bottom of its cylinder ? Mine was seized up, used Kroil penetrating oil and got it freed. Now it will not go to the bottom ,gets stuck, any ideas on how to resolve this issue, I can’t find anything ?
Soda blast seems to work. Spray with the newer blaster surface shield to protect the surface.

AutoRestoMod Car Restoration Modification I buy the cheap stuff, at the grocery store. In the cleaning isle they have “cleaning vinegar”. I have a plastic coffee can, cheap palm sander rig I use for small engine carbs. I soak the carbs overnight, and I have a way I strap the palm sander to the top of the can. I let it run for 30 min or so then I pull it out and rinse it with fresh water then blow them out with compressed air. I don’t usually allow aluminum to stay in the soak for more than 24hrs with out checking it.
Thanks for sharing this video, priseless when i rebuild my 4300 :-)

Holy Cow Batman, the 4300 is OEM on my 72 LTD and this is NASA science stuff. I’m not sure if I want to make this carburetor renewal to keep my car stock.

Allstate Carburetor can do the rebuild. It really isn't that bad to do though.
My jets are stamped 367 and I have no idea what that means. They definitely aren't 3.67mm and are too small for .067. Does anyone have an idea? It ran okay but it was leaking gas so I'm putting in new gaskets.
How did the 65’s work for you

Thank you for an excellent video, both my AMC 4300s have the spring on the "bottom" of the secondary choke opening rod. I have always known them to be on the bottom. Is it possible the bottom is correct. This is the plunger on the left hand side of the carburetor..thank you

For American Motors the spring goes under the secondary upper plate lever. Again the spring goes below the plunger next to the air horn on the left hand side

Can you point me in the direction for my 2150 Motorcraft 2bbl for where the vacuum lines go and my 302 engine. Thank you and love this show

Pretty good. The C4 is about on it's last leg, shuddering, holding shifts. We have a 4R70W that we are going to be installing as soon as we get our lift. Probably in the fall.
Here at 15:40. Just how will this pin or shaft stay there??

Anyone know where i can get a backward screw that goes into the throttle shaft like the one he mentioned in this video.
