The Last Year Ford Used Carburetors
The last year that Ford used carburetors in their vehicles was 1996. After that, Ford transitioned to fuel injection systems, which became the standard for most cars. It’s worth noting that carburetors are still preferred by some hot rodders for their ease of tune-ability and analog settings.
