Thanks! It is a Holley 2 barrel. 350 CFM. The one I used is off of an old Ford with an automatic choke but a Holley part # 7448 would work fine as well. Maybe better? Running a jet size of 61 which may be a bit lean but it runs well enough and don't overheat. Getting about 18 - 19mpg in town and lot's of power I haven't had a chance to check highway mileage yet but hoping it gets 24 to 25 mpg. I think the 33mpg days I got with the stock carburetor are done.
Unfortunately I had to change the head too because I broke an exhaust bolt off that I couldn't get out of it. The head change in turn has apparently boosted my compression enough to make the bottom end start to knock since it's knocking now and it wasn't before. Hoping it was an exhaust leak or just because it's so loud now that I was hearing the exhaust reverberate but I'm leaning toward a knock now.
Tired of working on this thing. I love this car and want to drive it not work on it all of the time.
