I'm new here and just finishing a resto-mod 58 (after 42 years of owning it in baskets!)
It has a 62 283 that was originally a hypo factory experimental but most of that has been removed in rebuilding. It currently is bored 60 over, flat top pistons, a mild cam, electronic ignition, and the original 2x4 alum intake w/ crossover. Will be used as a street driver only but want a bit if performance. I'm trying to figure out what size/type of carbs to use for this set up. I understand they don't need to be large carbs but any advise regarding size, choke, mech or vac secondary, etc would be appreciated. I'm assuming they want to be sim to the orig carter AFB maybe?
Thanks for any help you can lend.
