Default carb help

I have a stock 289 with a 351 windsor cam. I was wondering if the motorcraft 4100 will work with it. also how many vacum ports should i have on the 4100? Its in a 66. It originally had a 2 barrel. Are there any issues or changes with this setup or should it basiclly be a bolt on?
Thanks

Two ports. Ported vacuum on the lower right, and ambient air above the choke (some don't have this). There is also the hot air connection on the choke. The PCV connection is on the rear of the carb spacer.

You should have no issues using the 351W cam on the 289, it's just a little warmer than stock, no where near the 289HP cam. Remember to use the 351W firing order, though.
