Thinking about going with two carbs and A reworked GM distributor, engine has hedders on it but otherwise stock ,truck has A T-5 trans ,power steering ,and A 9" rear with 350.1 gears from A 59 f-100. what are the advantages of doing this , The truck runs very good as is with no problems , gas milage around town is approx 14 mpg . the merc flathead is A strong runner as is. looking for pros and cons .

That might be better to use a 2Gc carb for more drivability as well as fuel mileage. But the dual carbs makes it a Hot Rod.

For bragging rights, I would recommend the four barrel for your truck, but the Rochester 2GC is a very street friendly solution. |
