• Two mounting holes
• Direct replacement for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications
• Part number 72580 for easy identification

Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 72580 is a carburetor choke tube gasket engineered for sealing performance in vintage air and fuel delivery systems. Fel-Pro gaskets are known for vehicle-specific sealing solutions, and this premium gasket is intended for select Ford F-250, F-350, E-250, E-350 Econoline, Mustang, Thunderbird, LTD, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Marquis, Cougar, Montego, and Colony Park applications. It also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 704517 for the same application. If you are servicing a 1968-1997 Ford F-250 or F-350 without California Emission System equipment, or a 1969-1973 Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang, Fel-Pro 72580 provides the correct sealing interface for the choke tube connection.

What It Helps Solve

• Fuel or vacuum leakage at the carburetor choke tube joint
• Rough cold-start behavior caused by poor choke tube sealing
• Air leaks that can affect idle quality and mixture control
• Degraded sealing from heat, age, or repeated service removal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and emission configuration before installation. This gasket is listed for vehicles without California Emission System on applicable Ford truck and van fitments, and some 1974 applications note without Thermactor Emissions. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before assembly and confirm the two-hole mounting pattern matches the original part. For fitment searches, use phrases such as Fel-Pro 72580 carburetor choke tube gasket for 1975-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline or 1969-1973 Mercury Marquis.

Fel-Pro states that its gaskets are built for complete vehicle sealing using application-specific materials, giving technicians a sealing solution focused on durability and fit.
