I'm not sure about the throttle plate size, but the 2 barrel used on the 265 and 283 engines had smaller throttle bores and venturis than the ones used on the 305, 327, and 350 engines. They give better throttle response and fuel economy than the bigger bore carbs, especially if they're used on a small displacement engine like a 250 or a 261, etc. For instance ;
