I have a 41 GMC 1/2 ton with a 228 c.u six. has anyone changed to a two barrel card on this engine? What did you use? how does it work?

Just a suggestion....give Tom Langdon of Stovebolt Engine Company a call...he's knowledgeable about the early GM's....I used his Holley/Weber progressive 2 bbl on my 54-235 and find it gives me improved performance, mileage, and ZERO problems, right out of the box.

The cost is in line with a rebuilt 1 bbl with none of the pitfalls. Give him a call.

Hope this helps.

You could bolt on a GMC 302 manifold- those used a Holley AA-1 two bbl carb. You just need to modify the port alignment rings to center it- the ports are a bit larger on the 302's head.
