F4.6 carb won't tighten down

[blown68ssrs]

Got a F4.6, carb spins. Try to tighten the bolt. No go.
Finally the bolt snapped.
Now what?

My problem is the carb won't come off. It spins freely in the block.

If you loosen the bolt you should be able to pull it out. Sometimes takes a bit of twisting and pulling.

I can't turn the bolt. Snapped the head off.

use a small punch to push the broken bolt out a bit and then the carb should come free, use care so ya don't damage the block
