I have a 261 in a 54 p/u 1/2 ton. I am going to run twin carburetor or I want to. I personelly do not care for rochester B 1bl. carburetor. What is a good one to go with that will give good performance? I will be running Fenton headers
The ones I thought about are Charter Holly Stromberg
or webber I know the Charter YF what other models would work well? What are the others out there? I need numbers and models.

Thanks

Robert, A lot of farm tractors have used Zeniths. Maybe a tractor parts department near you can help. Just a thought.

Robert I am doing a 261 for my 48 chev fleetline. I am putting on a beautiful Edmunds manifold. On top of that will be 2 Holly 94's. I love the look of multi carbs.. If you need more info Vintage Speed web site is a good place to start.
