New Observation from FB Ford Group:

"The adapter plate under the carb looks to be an aftermarket 2 to 4 barrel . That's not a ford piece in under that 2100 ford carb . The engine could have originally came with a 4 barrel is what I am wondering either way the adapter being used as a spacer would still be the wrong spacer for that engine . Which could be adding to your fuel issue."
