Holley 5200 Quesiton

[embergloP51]

So, I decided I wanted to install a Holley 5200 on an adapter on my 66 200 I6. I was wondering if the weber carb adapter for a small log would the be the right one to use since the holley 5200 is a copy of the weber 32/26? Also, will the weber 32/36 air cleaners fit? I assume I'd have to go with the lower profile one since the carb will be on an adapter?

And finally, is there a particular submodel of 5200 I should look for or will any of them work fine? Meaning, if I have a list of part numbers to choose from, which is best? I would prefer an electric choke model.

The 5200 progressive can be a good match for the small block six:

from below:

... the progressive 2 barrel carbs' are the pricey Weber 32/36 and Holley/Weber version - H/W5200. The 5200 series progressive is widely available inexpensively having been used on many small 4cyl. engines 70's/80's. Most available "list numbers" or applications' jetting' are for small displacement four cyl's and a lower CFM than the small block six needs . THe 32/36 and 5200 are easily re-jetted though, and if you search here you will find a lot of discussion on getting them tuned for different engine configurations. I've run a H/W5200 from a Capri 2800cc (170cid) V6 application "list#" on a 170 through a simple $15 2X1 adapter for @ 10 years. It yields smooth idle and excellent performance and economy but it took two carbs and help to get there ...
