Well, i was being moderatly sarcastic with what i said, but really, on a big block, 125-150 is a good starting point. Depends on what your bottom end was built to take.

It doesn't hurt to be jetted a little rich, either.
Running the slightest bit lean, and "on the bottle" will kill an engine quick! Trust me , I know.

thats a good thing to know , ok on the other topic of my dad finding a truck , he bought it its a 78 2wd stepside slant with an auto trans the whole truck isnt too bad the body has been off and the frame cleaned up and painted the body is a little rough but not a total loss it was an old forest service truck it has a 9 1/4 rear , i thought it had a/c but they were using an a/c condenser as a trans cooler , but i think we did ok on the deal, 300 bucks and we walked away with a smile

If they still have any, clifford performance had re-pops of the hyperpack manifold. It was a long ram runner type intake with a 4 bbl flange.

Hooker makes one, and from what I understand, be aware that clifford's headers don't always fit what they are supposed to...Both are expensive. If I were to buy one, it would be a hooker.
Intakes are still made by Offenhauser, and ya can find used ones on ebay....also I bought slant six header flanges on ebay...great quality stuff for the $ !!
If ya don't want to go the 4bbl route a 2bbl carter and factory super six(2bbl) intake work well with a 2 1/4 exaust and elec. ign. Good economy too! If ya go this route, try to find a cast iorn intake, the aluminum versions are prone to leak!..also check out www.slantsix.org

The carb of the week (LOL) is a Carter bbd 2bbl....I made an adapter for a Rochester 2gc a few weeks ago, and it ran really good, but the mileage really suffered. Back to the 'ol super six carb for now....lookin for another offy or clifford manifold. I have a brand new Edelbrock 500 cfm 4bbl.
I hear they do good mileage wise.
As far as needin a choke, I found out it has more to do with fuel drainin off....bad needle an' seat....duhhh...starts fine w/ no choke now!

Oh, don't get me started on that carter bbd [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean]!!!!!! I'm still fighting with the one on my 318. I'd give my left arm for your edelbrock! Would it work ok with an adaptor on my stock 2bbl manifold? I know the best option would be a new intake, but one thing at a time...

that makes more sense with the needle and seat prob, hey I got ahold of the guy who pulled a glass mold from my cowl hood , his dad's health is failing and he's giving me the mold thursday hopefully its a good mold so i can make a couple of hoods if i can afford the materials, oh and we scored a freebie 4bbl intake for my dads slant not sure what kind yet but free is good !

Wow Pokey, those are goin for around 150-200 on ebay with no carb or adapter!....if it has really long runners, it could be an original hyper-pack one....or a clifford/Dutra copy....offy has basic shape of factory man.

Great about the cowl hood too!

As for the edelbrock bein adapted to the stock 2bbl manifold, it might work, but not nearly as well as it could.

Is the throttle shaft loose?....good luck gettin it tuned if it is...I looked at a BUNCH of em before I found a good core....if it isn't loose, try the $1.98 tune up. ...bring it up to about 2500 rpm and close the choke, till it almost dies, then open it back up....this will clear most any crud out of passages that may be clogged....(Super high vaccuum)...has worked wonders many times after a carb rebuild....also make sure the accelerator pump/ metering rod setting is correct. Also float level, of course.
