RUNAMUCK Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd go die a 350 holly if it were me. you'll need to make an adapter plate. But it's no biggie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunta Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 i would go for one of those if i had $700 spare to buy 1... but yeah ive seen and heard most slant guys saying 350s are the way to go... got a spare or two do ya bart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Ever consider trying one of the Weber DGAS style carbs on Ali Express? Or a genuine one if you can find one. Ebay one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNIVERSAL-CARBURETOR-TYPE-fit-WEBER-38X38-2-BARREL-FIAT-RENAULT-FORD-VW-4CYL-/321961105209?hash=item4af6609739:g:PGIAAOSwAKxWZtXh&vxp=mtr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963 AP5 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I run a 350 Holley on my one with the factory 2 barrel manifold, the adapter plates are available off the shelf for around $30 so its hardly worth the trouble of making one. I went that way because it's a very simple conversion and 350's work pretty well straight out of the box on Slant 6's. If you have a Torqueflite transmission however you need to get a little creative to make the push rod linkages down to the trans work properly. Anyway to answer your original question, of the two carbs you have I believe the Carter is the preferred option for a lot of people and they work just fine if they are in good condition. Sometimes the older carbs can be difficult to fix up because the shafts and linkages etc get worn over time. As above the Weber 38 DGAS should also work well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I've never paid more than 150 for a 350. and there is fuck all to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963 AP5 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Is the engine stock? If so there probably wouldn't be a significant performance improvement with a 350. If you rebuild the Carter nicely, get it set up right and working properly I expect that it will be capable of supplying all the air/fuel that a standard engine can demand. Since you already have the Carter it would be worth a go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
