you would be better off with a 600 edelbrock carb.you would get better gas milage and better low and mid range trottle responce. i have a summitt carb (copy of a ford 4100) on my 289 r-1 studebaker v-8(its a studebaker not a ford,) i like it a lot good gas milage and great throttle responce. and autolite 4100 is also a good carb.
