The Economizer / Power Valve may not be working correctly to enrichen it then.
Here you go this about everything on info and video's on the Autolite 1100's. https://www.carburetor-blog.com/article-categories/autolite-1100/
I followed the video regarding the cleaning of the power valve but nothing worked, it still does not work well. The motor shuts off when I press hard. Well I think it's time to replace this carburetor. But which carburetor to go to? my goal is not really to improve performance but not to increase gas mileage.
Have you checked out the Throttle Shaft for excessive wear on the linkage side yet? This can cause a substantial Vacuum leak right there from all the years of use, you use some Carb Spray there to test for a Vacuum Leak. There is a Remer & Bushing Kit made that will repair that worn out area of the Carb Body to like new condition for a reasonable cost.

There is a New Carb made that is called the Daytona it is made along the design of the Holley 1904 Carb family it would be pretty much a bolt on replacement for the Carb's used on all the early 200 Six's (also the 144 & 170's too) that are using one of the Small Log Heads (Design Castings from 1960 to 1968). They are a replacement for the old 1901, 1904, 1908, 1909 Holley's & AutoLite 1100's, it would also work well with your newer 1968 Distributor, here is the link to the info on them. https://championcarburetor.com/5362...wbrdesigned-for-modern-fuelbfont-p-10720.html
There are also the Carter YF Carburetor's that Ford started using in 1972 on the 170 & 200's and the & Carter RBS Carburetor's that Ford used on the 250 six and some 200's in the mid 1970's. These would work good too if you don't mind doing some work to adapt them, they are made for the later Large Log Heads that Ford started using in 1969 up so you would need to either make a simple adapter plate out of Aluminum to tapper from a 1 3/4 inch opening down to your 1 1/2 inch Carb opening, the other way it can be done is to grind the heads Carb mounting opening enlarging it to at least a 1 3/4 inch opening fairly easy job stuff some rags into the Logs sides so you can contain the grinding debris and then use a shop vacuum to remove it. After that you will need to work on the Throttle linkage some the easiest Carter YF Carb to Adapt is the early models from about 1972 to 1973. The later ones will also run great but their linkage is designed for use with a Cable Pull type Throttle Linkage and the Pivot Point is in the wrong place to use with you current Rod Push type linkage so the Pivot Point needs to be moved below the Throttle Blade or else you can convert your car over to the Cable Throttle pedal linkage if you wanted. Best of luck

I found this one that looks good. I plan to switch to an injection system later so it's just in the meantime.
