I noticed that my choke was not working in my bird. I removed the choke housing and discovered that the spring end that is curved and locked into the center of the housing is broke. My question is there anyone that just sells the spring and choke housing? I could ix it myself without rebuilding the whole thing if I could get the parts. There is a plastic lip that the spring end goes into it's broke as well.

The choke housing you need is Basic PN 9848. To get the correct one, you cross your Carb I.D. No. in the MPC for the complete PN. I have the MPC back to 1960 but if you have an earlier BIRD, you will have to find someone with the 49/59 MPC.
I do have a NOS from a 58 HOLLEY, but I do not know if it is correct w/o the catalog.Comment

MPC is the short for The Master Parts Catalog which will give you the origional FORD Service PN to make looking for NOS easier.
Do you see any alpha character code(s) (usually two characters) on the cap itself? I am pretty sure I have the correct one here if it is a HOLLEY.Comment

Hmm... Good Point
Can you post the List No. (from the carb air inlet flange) to be certain what we are working with?Comment

What year and engine do you have? The Holley has a number on the airhorn. Post all the numbers and we can get you the exact part number (the choke covers are not all the same). Note that no 1960 Thunderbirds came with a Holley (maybe you have more than one bird?). HawkrodComment

In "birdbrains" defense, he did say it was a 352cid Bird. I guess that means the Holley carb that came on my parents 1958 Bird could be OE then; I had just always presumed the Ford carb had been replaced at some point in time. My parents are the 3rd owners- 2nd owner bought it from his brother-in-law (who purchased the car new).sigpic

Holley carb number
I finally got my bird out of the garage, I have the numbers off the carb
5752426
List 1850
524
I noticed that this carb has a steel line for the vac.advance, it also has the heat transfer tube in place. This is why I thought it was not a transplant. My question is will it be easy to get the choke housing so I can have easy starts in the winter? Thanks in advanceComment

The list 1850 is a very common carburetor in the aftermarket. At one time it was the most popular and is a 600CFM rating. The parts should be easy to find.sigpic
