I would suggest using what you have for now and saving your $ getting a period correct carb, a 67 Rochester 4bbl.
Okay, I'm convinced.
It idles great, and cruises great, but it stutters when I punch it from low rpms under load. I haven't changed a thing regarding timing, or otherwise.
Engine ran and accelerated just fine when it was in the suburban.
I could just systematically check all possible vacuum issues, but then again, getting a non-emission carb seems to make more sense.
