OK your stock 2 bbl carb runs 275 cfm, the Edelbrock 1406 4 bbl run 600 cfm.
Your stock cam and compression will pull in the added 300 cfm of the 1406 just fine. The tone of the engine will now deepen up as it is now getting the fuel that it needs.
More Fuel and cfm = more power.
Plus the 1406 will start, run, and perform better than your 50 year old, clogged up, economy 2 bbl.
Simple 2 to 4 4bbl adapter (20.00 bucks) then you keep your port matched to the heads intake manifold.
Have done this many times, wakes them right up, and they run so much nicer too.
Easy Peasy, and change your valve guide seals with the handy in the car tool.
