I have a 1957 F-100, 272, with an aftermarket 2 barrel carburetor. It's junk. Any recommendations out there for a good replacement carb.

I didn't have any luck when I asked motor question here...try the Y block forum.

Are you looking to go back to stock or what? Holley 350 or even a 500 would work. Don't really know if you have a stock engine or modified. Headers? I think the Holley site will walk you thru the selection process fairly well. Afterall, Holleys were original on some of the Fords!
