carburetor stuff

i never rebuilt the carb in my truck, its just the same as it was 30 years ago and runs great, but it is now starting to dissolve the old gaskets and whatnot, so i was debating whether to rebuild the stock carter carb or put on the aftermarket holley glass bowl carb that i have laying around. would it be worth considering performance-wise or should i just go stock?

I rebuilt mine with a complete overhaul kit..Stick to the original I think..

Rebuild the stock. You won't gain anything performance wise with the glass bowl. I think the glass bowl was a stock item on other brand vehicles for a couple years-early sixties.

alright, then in that case, what would dual stock carters do for me?

[Dave72dt]

Freeing up the exhaust with duals will help more than the dual carbs. Like is commonly said, the engine is just an air pump. Capacity to get more air in doesn't mean a lot until you have the capacity to get the extra air out.
