1959 Ford Holley and Carter Carburetor Service Bulletin (Spanish)

This is issue No. 3 of 1959 of El Técnico de Servicio Ford (Foro de Servicio Ford), titled Servicio de Conservación de Carburadores, written in Spanish. It covers the 1959 Ford carburetors: the Holley single-venturi unit used on six-cylinder cars and trucks, the Holley two-venturi unit for the 332 car engine and 292 medium-duty truck engine, the Holley four-venturi unit for heavy-duty and Super Duty truck V-8s, and the Carter four-venturi carburetor for the 430 engine.

Each section explains the fuel inlet, idle, main, power, accelerating pump, choke and secondary-stage systems, with exploded views and cutaway drawings. Adjustment procedures give idle speeds (475 to 500 rpm, lower with Fordomatic or automatic transmissions), idle mixture, fast idle, pump stroke, fuel level, float settings, dashpot clearance and automatic choke setting. A troubleshooting list and a specification table (main jet numbers by altitude, power valve limits, float settings, 1959 carburetor part numbers, fuel pump pressures) close the book. Mechanics and restorers working on 1959 Ford carburetors will find it useful.
