No worry. Any vacuum secondary carb that size should drive fine. See if you can get a model number. I'd guess 4160, they're everywhere...

How much did they cost? And where from?

Summit sells them from Hedman....For a paltry $400 a set......

IIRC the "universal" 600 cfm Holley is a 4160/1850-1 and usually comes set up for a manual choke but kits are available to convert to electric choke.

Yea....As of right now...I get 14-16 mpg in city, and 17-19/20 highway....

And I honestly believe I can squeeze 1-2 mpre mpg out of the old girl...with about an added 100hp total...
