My son has a 70 Ranchero with a 351C. We rebuilt a few years ago back to stock specs. It was originally a 2V so it has 2V heads and a 4V intake for 2V heads. We put a 80457 600cfm holley on it. Don't remember where I got it but I don't like it one bit. We've had it rebuilt twice and it just does not seem right. Yes factory Holley kits were used. I can't get the electric choke to do it's job when cold. The car sputters like a pig and blows out black unburnt gasoline all over the driveway when it's cold. Once it warms up it actually runs decent but when I step on it, I just don't think the vacuum secondaries are opening up.
With that said, I have a Edelbrock afb on my 70 351C and I love it. What are your thoughts on getting the right carb onto this car. It's not a hot rod, we want it to start up and drive without spewing and when we jump on it, we want it to go.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
