Still learning here.. Currently I have a Holley 1940 and the load-a-matic dist. in my '62 Comet with a '65 200 engine. I was lucky enough (or thought I was) to find a '79 Fairmont in the JY with a 200 which still had the Holley 1946 and Duraspark II ignition system intact. I grabbed both the carb and complete ignition system from the Fairmont with the intent of using the parts to upgrade my Comet. Well, I was disappointed to find out that that later carb won't fit unless I used an adapter (I already converted the throttle linkage to cable).
What I was wondering is:
1) Is it worth going through the trouble of making an adapater to use the 1946?
2)What other options do I have as far as carbs to use with the Duraspark II ignition system?
3) Do I have to run all the vacuum lines and control valves for the ignition system that were originally on the Fairmont donor car or can I just have a single vacuum line going to the carb from the dist.?
