But what carbs should I use ?
Is there any tested setup for a 2 ton with 261 ?

As long as the carbs are matched, you should have no troubles. Just take your time when tuning and syncing them, the directions in the California Bill book are great. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Hey,Lastchance! I JUST installed my Fentons and dual stacks on my '55 2nd Series 6500. You'll also NEED the heat kit,to replace the heat-riser in the stock manifold. I have a 261,too. I'm using my stock intake,and single Carter. The truck RUNS GREAT! Better performance and a little better gas mileage! Oh,and the BEST part,is the way she sounds! I am VERY PLEASED with my set-up. I'm not planning on up-grading to dual carbs on my truck. Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 384 | Hi, thanks for the info.
I had a Chevy Styleline 1950 before. With a 235 and pg.
I did that conversion, dual Fentons and heat riser kit. Worked really fine.
the thing I am most confused about is carbs. Carter you said, which one do you use ?
