Recommended 4bbl carb for stock 318
You are making things way more difficult than they need to be.
What are you going to do for linkage and kickdown ?
Have you thought of that ?
And a smog egr thermoquad intake teamed up with a Holley ?
Very interesting decisions. Its like you got some very informative information for your question, and then have gone in a complete opposite direction.
The Carb has a universal install kit, and has number different linkages to swap in, including the Plymouth arm for kickdown throttle cable. The theory would be the carb is able to move the fuel mixture either way, however I do think it may be a bit better due to VS's being smaller and the adapter plate used creates a nice flow change directly from the butterflies down to the manifold with no restrictions and it's an additional 1/2'' taller helping run cooler. Also, It' wasn't an interesting decision really. The manifold has been around for a while with my grandfather from some other car a long time ago, so it's the "free manifold" decision with my theory that says just stick with this intake.
opposite decision? this had initial suggestions that I used for the first end decision LOL, but when big money savings comes into play I couldn't resist. And really that's the only difference from my initial question of the post.
Also I'm pretty sure the intake manifold it's not a California (smog) intake, I didn't notice any added when I looked it up on this chart
If the chart is incorrect, please let me know so I can have as much info on LA block as I can
