Improving acceleration using 2bbl Carburetor?

OP posted a question i the /6 forum regarding upgrading his '64 Valiant to a 2 barrel carburetor. Safe to assume it's a /6. Doesn't matter if it's a 170 or a 225, a 2 barrel (or 4 barrel for that matter) isn't going to fix his issues. He needs a competent person (could be anyone, including himself) to baseline the car back to proper tune. This includes valve lash, timing, and carb settings. Until this is done, upgrades are futile. Chances are he will be satisfied with proper performance of the car in stock condition.

Along the same lines, I have been involved with Ford Model A's in the past. There is much to do in that sector of the hobby with "hop ups" and hydraulic brake conversions. Guys are always blown away that a "stock" A properly assembled to factory tolerances and proper tune with mechanical brakes runs and drives better than a cobbled together job with all the fancy "must have" mods. They weren't built to be a parade car! Yes, a stock Model A will both run 70 mph and lock up all 4 tires with mechanical brakes (if it's all within spec)!!!
