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.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich engines and vehicles will this carburetor fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VergasRetor 2100\/2150 is manufactured to match fitment for a range of Ford and Jeep V8 applications from the 1960s through early 1980s.
