2 bbl carb
A good carburetor is the life line to a good running engine.
Never have been a fan of the factory 40 year old 2 bbl carbs, they leak gas, stumble, and just plain don't perform very well, especially after 40 years.
I personally do the Edelbrock 1406 electric choke carb conversion to all of my 318 2 barrel setups.
Great running carb, plus it is a 4 barrel so you have the added performance of the secondaries to play with too. Starts so nice, performs very well, idles very well. Stock 318s with stock cams.
Works for Me . . .
