You may be able to get a replacement through Ford Power Products .
104 Ford motor parts == Power Products 1-800-944-1776 don or dan
They are in many states . I had a B*tch of a time finding the right rebuild kit for my 104 ford . Let me see if I still have the part numbers and I will post them .Mine runs like a top now .This is the one I have .
Edit : This is showing as my part number for the rebuild kit . I honestly can't remember if it was the right one ,but I have it listed in my parts manual that I made up for the Ford 104 V-4. I think it came from Napa Auto parts
Carberator kit============#CRB2-5520

Thought you might need this too . Below is a list of Ford parts used on other Ford motors that will fit a Ford V4 104 Cu. In. motor :
Fuel Pump , Distributor cap and general tune up parts etc . Ask for parts for a 1971 Ford Pinto or Bobact 2000 CC OHC motor .
Pistons , Bearings, oil pump , valves and other internal parts should be the same as a Mercury Capri 159 cu.in. V6 - 2600 CC motor .
TRW also makes a Aluminum Camshaft gear that will replace the "Bakelite" one that is stock . The replacement Camshaft gear is , according to the information I found ,to be 100% better .
The 104 Cu . Inch Ford V4 were also used in Saab 96 and Saab Sonnets of the late 1960's early 1970's.
You might want to look at older style Bobcat type loaders of the 70's at a tractor junkyard . Many also used a a 104 ford .

Look in Hemmings Motor News for people that specialize in carburetors. I doubt that there is a carburetor that has ever been made that you couldn't get repaired today with the resources of the old car hobby. Finding that "right" person is the task, and that is where HMN comes into play. All the big time restorers advertise in it. Junk...
I looked though my notes and found the carburetor that was recomended to me is Solex PICT 30/31. from a Volkswagen bus/bug. I like the idea of switching to a more common carburetor but I want to be sure I get one that is right. I will check into Junkmans suggestion also. Thanks Big Al for the additional info. I knew about the saab sonet and Mercury Capri but not the bobcat or Ford Pinto similarities. I have a pretty good list of proven up to date part numbers list that fit my IMP serial # 600 if anyone wants it just let me know.

Was the accelerator pump correct? Last time I bought a NAPA kit for the solex carb the accelerator pump was not correct. I was able to repair my old one from some spare parts laying around. I have forgotten what the kit number sold to me was in the past.I actually didnt rebuild it but a friend of mine did. He said everything went together smooth except for one non critical vent gasket that he reused. I have not used the carb yet but I have full confidence in his carburetor rebuilding abilities. And yes it came with a new accelerator pump. At this time I am in the middle of building new tracks from scratch for my IMP. I should be welding grousers together by this weekend. All 108 of them. After this project I can tell you how the engine runs with the new carburetor rebuild job.

I have the Solex 28/32PDSIT-4 Carb and the 2-1271 Napa rebuild kit worked great, just had to modify one gasket for a vent hole. My problem is that my float is saturated with fuel, causing the engine to flood. Has anybody found a source for a float for these units. I have it tracked down to a VW p/n of:
311-129-391
I went to VW, but it was discontinued in 1991 with NO replacement.
Thanks

This is what is on my 70's Imp for Carburation, pretty much the same as yours but mine is converted to a manual choke. The numbers on the pink parts tag are for Ford 11 436 198
You may be able to get the local Ford dealer to give you a number for it or cross it over to another parts supply brand or cross over at the auto part stores....
If you find where to order a kit, let me know I may do the same just to have the parts on hand.

NAPA is a US based retailer of car parts. search the rebuild kit info from post number 8. the kit appears to be 13$ US funds.
Good luck
NAPA didn't have one in stock when I needed one
Wanted $26.00 plus $ 8.00 freight
Got one from O Reilly Auto Parts ( checker Auto ) Walker number #15552A $18.00 they had it in stock
They crossed the NAPA number
Has two different style accelerator pumps and gaskets in it
Hope this helps

Mark Ashcroft in Oregon sells a carb rebuild kit for the Solex 28/32PDSIT-4 carb.

If you need an original 1977 Thiokol Imp V4 Solex carb with 814 hours on it, I have one in great condition that I removed from my Imp. The Solex was running awesome when removed in 2020, but the Imp now has a 2 BBL Weber upgrade for high altitude (10 to12,000' A.S.L.) ops. PM me if you are interested in the 1 BBL Solex carb and/or 1 BBL manifold.
Solex are the two pictures on the left.

Dear fogtender,
can you please tell me which engine you have that is working with the Ford 11 436 198 carb? I have Ford Taunus 1966, V4, 104 cu, 70 HP, HC. I'm wondering if it will work as well.
Thanks.
