I too, run a Painless Performance kit-excellent quality and easy to install as opposed to a scratch-build.

No !

many mechanics over the years have said the same thing: Chrysler cant build a carburetor :|

I would go weber or single barrel Rochester
I will be going to the local junk yard what are the best vehicles to find the 1bbl Rochester carb on

and ill upgrade to a conical air cleaner MORE HORSEPOWER FOR ME :mrgreen:

the oil bath is far superior if you are doing dusty gravel roads. most conical air cleaners are for the race track.

with the low height of the Rochester I would think a transition to the three bolt flange of the intake elbow would be easy to make.

wiring is done
all that is left for truck is

gauges
trailer plug
2 inch receiver hitch
bolt on a couple little sheet metal bits (clutch housing cover)
adjust carb
fuel sender
backup lights
switch to turn off brake lights
rubber equine mats on bed floor
seatbelts
and cupholders

other stuff I did this weekend
wrapped steering wheel in paracord it has a nice feel to it and reminds me of a world war 2 helmet that has netting on it
and I added guards from an m211 in front of the head lights

I am planning on finishing soon hopefully the truck doesent try to alter my plans :?
