It's belching black smoke and rough idling, hard to get the old girl moving. This carb has 210,000 miles on it and I've thought it was near another rebuild, tech says no. She ain't dead, but I'm unplugging lifesupport.
Besides Holley, what can be bolted to existing manifold?

Picked up truck yesterday with new Holley Street Avenger 670CFM 4V, electric choke.
AWESOME.....quick starting (only 1/2 pumped the accelerator when cold), smooth idle, smooooooth and STRONG acceleration. Mech says this was an easy install.....wonder why Edelbrock gets so much attention?
