Suggest a carb!

[Anonymous]

Alright... I've noticed that my stock setup with modified head:
just won't work. originally I have a stock 170 setup, but with the rebuild and cracked head, my 170 block now has a 250 head (D8BE?)
Engine being rebuilt, I think the carb is the next step towards some more power.

What carb setup is suggested? I have the autolite 1101? 1100? (stock 1964 170 setup - Modified adapter to make the smaller carb fit the larger bore manifold hole)
do you think a 2V would be good? or what should I go with? Any suggestions? I want to try to keep the linkage the same, but I'm open to custom linkage.

Thanks in Advance... Adam

a crab or carb....depends on how you spell it

I vote for a Holley 5200 2-bbl, because triple carbs will be more than 3x1 the hassle...

But you'd have to get rid of the Load-o-matic dizzy...

with a 170ci, what do I replace the load o matic with?

A modified Duraspark II.

Doesn't the triple flow more, and have better fuel distribution, hence more POWER?
