1) The other thing is the rochester 2G, supposedly, will bolt in place of the stromberg.

a) maybe there is a way you/we/i can measure the bottom---mounting holes and diameter and position of the throttle blades/barrels and match it to a 2G? Or if you can find one cheap, visually match the bottom.
This way you don't have to mess with an adapter if you went with the holley.

2) This begs the following questions:

a) Why did GMC go with stromberg as opposed to the rochester 2G? It would seem to make better economic sense as the 2G had, by then, been out for 5 model years and proven itself, AND the carburetor was "in house." Unless, at the time, GM owned stromberg?

b) i forgot the 2nd question.
