I have a 1969 with a 250. Left the original 1 barrel carb when I rebuilt the engine a few years back. It always seems like problems. The engine won't idle well unless the choke is left open. As it warms up if I close it will will still run but dies after a few minutes on the highway. I've thought about putting on a later model intake and carb. What do you guys think?
