My question is about what carburetor to use on my Chevy Inline 6 250 engine. Currently I have 2 Carter Weber two-barrel carbs mounted on an Offenhauser intake manifold. They are new and the engine has not been started yet. I am wondering if one Edelbrock 500 cfm carb on an Offenhauser intake would be better. What I am trying to achieve is a dependable 1956 Chevy that I can drive long distances and not have any problems. The dual Carter Webers and the complex progressive linkage seems difficult to keep tuned and correctly adjusted. Would the single 4 barrel carb be a better choice? Appreciate any advice.

I run triple fours So I can't comment to much on your duals But I don't have issues with my set up. But The simple comment is this Keep it Simple If your going on long trips and need a carb kit which is Best ( how easy is it to get a part/kit if you needed to do a fix) Two is Cool One is simple and makes life easy for many.

So my 2cent is Keep it simple.
