VergasRetor 2-Barrel 2100/2150 Carburetor with Electric Choke — Direct Fit for Ford 289/302/351, Includes Gasket & Fuel Inlet

VergasRetor's 2-barrel 2100/2150 carburetor is a direct-fit replacement for Motorcraft/Autolite units, delivering reliable idle control, modernized electric choke operation, and included mounting hardware for classic Ford and Jeep V8 engines. This VergasRetor carburetor is built as a serviceable aftermarket alternative to Motorcraft/Autolite 2100 and 2150 models used on many 1960s–1980s Ford and Jeep applications. It arrives as a complete kit — carburetor body plus gasket, seal, fuel inlet/filter, and float level ruler — so you have the parts needed to install and tune the unit. The electric choke provides easier cold starts while the two-barrel design keeps throttle response smooth and predictable for period vehicles.

Which engines and vehicles will this carburetor fit?

The VergasRetor 2100/2150 is manufactured to match fitment for a range of Ford and Jeep V8 applications from the 1960s through early 1980s. Verify manifold flange, throttle linkage, and vacuum port placement against your vehicle before purchase.

• Ford small-block 289, 302, 351 ci engines (common across Mustang, F100, F150, F250, F350, Comet)
• Jeep Wagoneer 360 ci applications listed for 1964–1978
• Covers Motorcraft/Autolite 2100 & 2150 replacement patterns

How does the electric choke improve cold starts?

The built-in electric choke warms and opens the choke plate automatically as the engine reaches operating temperature, reducing manual adjustments. That delivers more consistent cold starts and steadier warm-up idling compared with fixed or manually adjusted chokes.

• Heats via engine electrical circuit for predictable opening
• Minimizes rich flooding on repeated cold starts
• Requires correct wiring and ground for reliable operation

What hardware is included and what will I need to install?

VergasRetor ships the carburetor with the essential gaskets and small parts to replace a Motorcraft/Autolite 2100/2150 pattern, helping simplify the swap. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with carburetor tuning and fuel system safety.

• Included: carburetor, mounting gasket, intake seal, fuel inlet + filter, float level ruler
• Recommended: new intake manifold gasket set, correct throttle linkage components, fuel line fittings
• Tools: basic hand tools, torque wrench, vacuum gauge for fine-tuning

How should I tune and verify float level, idle, and vacuum connections?

Start with the supplied float level ruler and factory baseline settings for your engine, then make small adjustments while monitoring idle and vacuum. Proper float height and secure vacuum hoses prevent fuel overflow and ensure steady idling across loads.

• Use float ruler to set manufacturer-specified height before installation
• Adjust idle mixture screws incrementally while engine is warm
• Check choke function, vacuum advance, and EGR or distributor connections if present

This carburetor is aimed at classic car owners, restoration shops, and DIY mechanics restoring or maintaining period Ford and Jeep V8 engines who need a cost-effective, complete replacement for worn Motorcraft/Autolite 2100 or 2150 units. If you own a Mustang, F-series pickup, Comet, or Wagoneer from the covered years and want a ready-to-install, electrically choked two-barrel unit with the necessary small parts included, this VergasRetor kit is designed for that purpose. For optimum results, have a qualified mechanic perform the final installation and tuning to ensure safe fuel delivery and reliable driveability.
