No point in a Q-Jet on a 250cid engine.

Would I need a different intake manifold for a Rochester 2bbl?
Well, actually a quadrajet would be a good one install if you can get a 4 barrel manifold fairly cheap. I've given it some thought and there are others that have done it.

I would much rather go with a 4 barrel than a 2 barrel. The primaries are smaller on a quadrajet and you still have the big rear ones for added boost.

Of course the best way is with a fuel injection conversion, but that's way beyond my means at this time...
