If so what carbs would be the best to use, mainly interested in driveability, car runs very well now w/the single carb, just like how they look w/the 2 carbs. I've tried to check past posts & did searches on the internet but I'm an old Chev guy & just don't have the intricasies of the FE's worked out!, but I'm learnin. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
I ordered my dual quads from Carl's Ford Parts. They are the 600's that came out on the originals and they are the new re-issue's from Holley that have the correct Ford part numbers and correct date codes as the originals. I paid $895 for the set. They were flow tested and ready to go right out of the box. I did change the secondary vacumn springs to the white ones (lightest pressure). With the Stelling/Hellings air cleaners and K&N filters they do look GOOD! I'm still tinkering a little with the linkage. There are no flat spots under acceleration, but I'm not sure it runs better than the single larger 4V. Probably need to put it on a dyno and work on the jetting, etc.

Good luck, Bob
