   The varajet carbs were regular 2 barrel but with a computer control mixture solenoid. They were good carbs. Ford had a variable venturi carb on the 302 in the late 70's to early 80's which was a sideways piston that moved like motorcycle carb to change the size of the carburetor throat.

   I'm sorry , i'm an old man and cant remember everything -- I used to work on both of those carbs --- all I remember is one was a variable venturi --- googled varajet , says used on some jeeps ? -- cj's 1980 81 82 83 ? --- all my jeeps are in the 40's 50's 60's --- I know s-10 blazers had them , electronic control carb --- the variable venturi autolite carbs I know we had in our fleet , I remember working on them , cant place what vehicle it was .. surely not one of our f-800s ,,

   ps --- I think it was a mid 80's bronco II , 2.8 german v-6 --- he had a utility company and we had to have 4x4 vehicles to access mountainous areas -- I used my jeeps to access on-air relay sites on mountain peaks --- standby generator repair and service --- great fun when you get to four-wheel and get paid big money for it ..
