Thanks for all of the excellent technical advice that's posted on the forums.
I'm in the process of building a 261 Chevy six (1959 vintage) for my '49 Chevy 3/4-Ton truck. I'm planning to go with Fenton dual exhaust manifolds and an electronic ignition, but I'm not sure what to do for the intake. The single 4-bbl setup seems nice for drivability, but the 2-1 bbl setup has the "cool factor" to it. I have heard some stories of dual carbs being a pain to adjust and maintain, but maybe they're just stories. Does anybody have some recommendations for intake manifolds and electronic ignition? Other than that, this 261 will be basically stock.
If it matters, I will be using a GM New Process A-833 OD transmission with 4.10 rearend gears.
Thanks in Advance! Dan M. Omaha, Nebraska | | |
