I am wishing to install dual 2 bbl. carbs on my 1956 235 3100 chevy truck. This week i am installing a t-5 transmission. I have been reading alot about different carbs.

To finish up the motor and drive line here is where i need the advice. I want to install a fenton 2x1 intake manifold. Is it better to install dual 1 bbl. carbs or dual 2 bbl. carbs. The truck is not going to be for racing just in town and 20 mile drive to work on the freeway, maybe the short burst of speed at the stop light once in a while. I was looking at the progressive 2 bbl. Webster carbs w/electric choke from stovebolt engine company. Will they fit the fenton intake or do i need a dual 2 bbl carb intake manifold?

Does anybody know aporoximately what the gas milage difference would be from the 2 - 1 bbls from the progressive 2 - 2 bbl on the 235 with t-5 with normal driving? Approximately

The upgrades i have made is a 261 stock cam and this week after my Pomona trip what i do not buy there will be a mini HEI, fenton split exhaust manifold.

Any advice on the carb is appreciated. I just want to get everything by next week and start it up. Thanks again
