carb upgrade or rebuild
I have a 1966 1-ton with a V6 that has been sitting for a long time. It has a 2-bbl Stromberg on it that needs rebuilding. Should I rebuild it or upgrade to a newer 2-bbl Holley?

Re: carb upgrade or rebuild
The 500 cfm holley 2 barrel is a common carb swap and offers much better performance of the stock 2 barrel. That and dual exhaust wakes these up nicely.

Re: carb upgrade or rebuild
Is that a straight bolt on swap or do you need to change manifold? Also, what about an air cleaner?

Re: carb upgrade or rebuild
Is the Holley a bolt on upgrade for a 305 E V6? What about an air cleaner, can I use the stock one off of the Stromberg??
Thanks |

Re: carb upgrade or rebuild
You'll need this adapter:
