I run the exact setup you describe on a '58 235 and running 3.55 gears. After a big hassle with the wrong gaskets...I love 'em. They give me good fuel mileage (14 around town with the temp in the high 20s). The electric chokes are excellent.
To start my truck, I stab the accelertor once and hit it. It immediately starts on fast idle and then, when warmed up it eases out of fast idle.
Tom Langdon is one of the most knowlegeable and willing to help vendors I have dealt with.
