So should i just drop Holley webb. in on the stock intake log, with the adapter? i went ahead and called clifford and they said to buy the 2brl from them, he said it would be very hard as a DD to keep all three carbs adjusted. so i think ill stick with the 2brl but the kit is wayy overpriced. the stovebolt is a much better brice but is it the same setup?

You want the adapter from clifford and the carb from stovebolt. Let me see if I can find the link to the page.

You will have to upgrade your distributor to make it run correctly. I am swapping mine out over the weekend.

I think I missed something above...why would you have to upgrade the distributor?

65-67 had a dizzy called Load-O-Matic. It is a spark advance distributor, and the carb is a vacuum advance. It wouldn't be compatible with the dizzy. I am upgrading my dizzy this weekend. I will let you know how it turns out. The setup cost me around $150 for everything I need to swap it.

I'm all for upgrading. And vacuum advance is nice for a street car. But why couldn't you just keep the Load-O-Matic and cap off the unused port on the carb?

Anyhow, good luck with the install this weekend.

I did that. Mine runs worse. We are having trouble with the directions for wiring. They suck...
