My statement was based on empirical evidence using 4 different new or rebuilt carburetor set-ups on the same 261.
- single, original Rochester - OK but lackluster performance
- dual, original Rochesters (from 235s and from 261s) - too much carb at low RPMs, but nice at the high end.
- dual Carter-Weber (which Langdon first recommended and then said he did not recommend them) - beautiful carbs for starting and at the low RPM, but no oomph at high-end accelerating
- Holley AA-1 two barrel (with adjustable jets) - made for 270-302 GMC engines - works real nice at high and low RPMs
I'd like to hear anyone's personal experiences.
My guess is that the dual 32/36 would be too much. Maybe Carbking will give his expert opinion on this?
