I would like to put a "better" carb on my 74 Pinto. will the Holley 2300 series 350 CFM 2BBL be a good replacement carb. The motor is stock except for an Eslinger header and 2 1/2" exhaust and Pertronix ignition. Will I need a "adapter plate" for the carb?
-
Yes and yes. The stock power valve circuit will feed too much fuel, it needs to be restricted down to like .020" holes each side.
FYI, old American Motors 2 bbl. carb adapters that used to be part of every 2 bbl. manifold make good adapters, the smaller inside hole pattern fits the small pattern on the 2.0 manifold.
Sure you got a 2.0? '74 came with 2.3........... .....

Yes 100% sure its a 2.0 its one of the "early" 74's I wish it was the 2.3.
