Finally, some real progress!
So, after months of part collecting, carb rebuilding, installing, tuning and questions asking (of course) I have finally finished doing the carb/intake swap on my truck.

Re: Finally, some real progress!
I went from the stock 2bbl carb, manifold, etc and upgraded to a holley 600 cfm 4bbl w/vac secoundaries, holley dual plane intake, and pcv system.
Thanks to everyone who lent advice! I asked a lot of questions and hadn't yet posted the result of all my inquires. If this website didn't exist, I would not have had any real help... and who knows how bungled up thing may have ended up! Thanks again all! -Matt

Absolutly! Significant boost in power. It was a little sluggish at starting from a stop, but that was fixed with adjustment to mixture and idle speed.
