196 Carb Question

[fredmo1947]

I am in the process of purchasing a 196 engine, 4 speed trans/tc from a 1967 Scout 800. It will be going into a 1966 Scout 800. The engine is complete sans the carb. I've done some research on the carb applications for the 196 and it seems the holly 1920 with a 3" spread is the oem carb. Where can I find one of these? (perhaps mr. Mayben can provide info) I would prefer to stay as oem as possible, but if a 1920 is not available a 1904 with appropriate adapter for the 3" spread would be ok assuming performance would be expected to be about the same.

You'll be fine with either the 1920 or 1904. For 66 I recall the 1904 wide flange was oem. I could be wrong but that is what I remember.

I have one if you have problems finding one. Believe it is a 1904.
