1904 carb / load-o-matic dizzy
Pulled the Holley 1904 off of my 59 F350 223 last night. The top butterfly valve is covered is rust and the copper (?) tube that runs at an angle above the butterfly valve is clogged with what looks like rust. I was thinking of getting a 1904 knock off from ebay. Or was wondering if anyone is using any other carb in place of the 1904? I know the 1904 has to be used with the "load-o-matic" distributor but I was also thinking of using a pertronix set-up. Anyone else do this and did you have any success?

The LOM distributor must be used with the correct carburetor, not the other way around. Maybe you know this already. Pertronix doesn't factor, the LOM distributor utilizes different vacuum signals only to achieve the advance curve.
If you can setup a conventional mechanical advance distributor for your engine then you're free to use whatever carburetor you want.
