late model carb that will fit a flathead Six

[Vintage Copper 47]

I was talking to someone (I can't remember who) that said I can replace the single barrel Holly on my 1947 flathead straight six with a later model carb from an early 60's ford six cylinder.. Does anyone know what model car/engine he was talking about and the model/brand of the carburetor? Thanks to all responses.. WALT

There is an outfit who makes new single barrel carbs to fit most sixes now. They advertise in Old cars weekly, and I don't have them anymore

There is a seller on ebay that has these. They're China knock-offs for $80-90.

I wouldn't risk cheaping out with a Chinese carb. There's no long term testing on the quality of these things. Do you want to find out the hard way and risk an engine fire to save a few bucks.
I think you could go with a Carter YF. They were used on Ford sixes into the 70's.

I sure am glad somebody finally said it.
