Truckfarm -- that's all great, but we're talking stock 305 here in a pickup and we mere mortals. I think it best to respond to the OP with something realistic. And for we mere mortals, perhaps ditching the Stromberg and replacing it with the Holley is the simpler way to the same end. The Stromberg may be a great "old" design that works great ... but if that's only when it isn't worn out (which most are by now) then where's the advantage? And most of us average schmoes don't have the wherewithal (or acres of junk farm trucks laying around) to mix and match to get high performance. For the OP, who I can identify with (just a guy with a truck and the average house garage maybe), the Holley still sounds to me like the better answer.
Jerry -- (giggle...) you mentioned a 6-71 in a discussion about better performance .... wa hahahaha !!! who says you aren't a big kidder??
