The previous owner put a Carter YF on my mongrel 170 (‘68 block, ‘70 head). I’d like to go back to a Holley 1904 or 1908, if for no other reason than for the manual choke (currently there’s an automatic choke hooked to the choke cable, which isn’t a great arrangement).
Will the 1904 physically bolt to the DODE head? I believe the DODE has the larger carb hole, but I’m not sure if the bolt spacing is different.
By the way, somebody chucked my carb heater, so the carb bolts directly the intake on my car, if it makes a difference. I wouldn’t mind going back to carb heat at some point, for the fuel economy and driveability advantages.
