I had initially thought of using a Clifford 4 barrel manifold with a 390 cfm carb. I ran 2 Carter W1`s on my 55 pickup and found the response off idle to be lacking. What would be a good pair of carbs to run on a stock 230 with a split exhaust? Which manifold would be recommended?

It would be an easier hook up I think. Tom Langdon has the set up on his store site. But, if you're definitely set on the 2 1bbl set up,I'd still use the W-1's with maybe a rejet up 2 steps from whatever you have in them now. I'd use an Offy intake for the 230. You might even find one in the Summit catalogue.

Chances are either the adjustment was wrong, or some of the linkage was worn. These normally give excellent results.
Give me a call at 573-392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Wed central time); and I will be happy to describe what to look for.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
