Re: Couple questions regarding carb choice.
 
If the carb on there is a Stromberg, here is a good kit. I am going to a Holley, I think I have one of these unopened in my stash.

Thanks! :thumbsup: All I know is that this is a 67 or later 305 in my 64. Don't know if the 2 barrel was any different though.

The is biggest difference I have seen is the accelerator pump bit. Some have a 90 degree turned portion where the lever attaches and some are straight. When you try to remove the lever on the front of the carburetor, that pivot screw has a left hand thread!

There is a NOS GM Stromberg ww rebuild kit on ebay, it has the accelerator pump that's straight rather than the one with the 90 degree bend. If you're interested I'll send you the auction.

Can't believe I forgot to follow this thread up. lol A buddy of mine had a 4 down to 2 barrel adapter that I ended up using. YES, I know its like drinking coffee out of a tiny straw...BUT, I had to try it. Bolted my 600 edelbrock on there and the results were Great. With the stock points it burns clean and even still breathing though that small intake I get more pull out of it. So I'm quite happy with it. lol
After the 4 barrel was put on:
