Problem seems to be gone, took the car out for a run into town to get groceries once it quit raining and I did not notice any stumble or miss at all. If you Phoenix guys ever manage to get a run or gathering together that I can attend, I owe you $5 Jeff. I still would like to do some tuning or changes to the car, I am still not hitting my "power band" until I get up around 5,500-6,000 RPM, which would be fine if I was driving around at 150 mph all the time, just not much punch at low RPM daily driving. At least the car is running better now, and for the time being, it is running. 1st trip so far with the new fan wired up and it hasn't burned out yet.....keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks for all of the continued help. Mark

A Ford guy told you to do that as well....look up a few posts. ;-)
Did you check total timing?
A 600 sized carb is good for a 351W. The carb doesn't know what vehicle it's on.
If you're in the market to buy a carb, I'd buy a nice one that's really tunable. You'll likely pick up some ponies too.
