I have a 200 cid. It is a '68 block with a '66 head. I've gone through several Autolite 1100's. Some have been rebuilt through auto parts stores and the one that is on the engine now was rebuilt by myself. It was running really good, but... For no apparent reason, it wont idle now. It dies as soon as it starts (unless I keep my foot on the gas - alot). I'd like to switch to a later model head and move up a decade or two in technology to a 2-barrel carb. I found a head at a local shop. The casting number starts with D0. This link:

shows the head belonging to a 170 cid. Is it the same head that was used on the early 200/250's? I'm assuming it has the smaller intake valves and the lower cc volume like the early 70's head. It definitely has the larger intake log (relative to my '66 head).
The shop is asking $350 for it. It has been rebuilt (3-angle valve job and hardened seats). Good? Bad?
