I have a 64 slant and want to put on my Clifford intake. I'm trying to decide 2 or 4 bbl. Any thoughts? Also, will I have to change the accelerator linkage (currently rod type) to cable type no matter what carb I use???  Thanks for your input as always. |

You should change to cable linkage. Then you can use any kind of carb. I believe the only other manifold you can use with the stock linkage is the tripple 1bbl setup (hard to find). I would stick with the 2bbl. I had a 4bbl and it was hard to tune. Most of my time was spent trying to get the power valve (Holley) to come in at the right time. My buddy bought Weber plates for his which allowed for a lot more adjustment, but it took a lot of trial & error to get it right. With a Carter BBD you just hook it up and go. You can even use a V8 model if you re-jet it. The power difference with a deuce is amazing. |

Thanks for the advice. Are there any posts detailing the parts I need to switch to cable? I was going to get a Webber 2bbl since I have the Clifford intake. Does anyone run a clifford and what carb do ya use? |

When I still had a carbureted system, I ran a clifford manifold with a holley 4 barrel 390cfm vacuum secondary carb (Holley Model # 0-8007). The carb came new from summit for about 260 I believe. This was a pretty nice combo, deffinately a big improvement over my stock 1920. It didn't behave too bad right out of the box, but had a few quirks that would disappear once you took the time to do all the adjusting. Installing an o2 sensor in your exhaust pipe would be a good tool to use to give you feedback in adjusting any carb. I used Lokar kickdown and throttle cables. |
