The original single 4v cars came with a Holley 3255-1 780 CFM carb with "Lemans bowls" that had center hung floats. Similar in air flow to today's Holley 4150/4160 750 CFM carbs.

Here's a discussion on them if you're interested: Holley 3255 (BE) vs 3255-1 (BV)

650 is too small.

750-780 works just fine.
