Re: 283 carb choice.

That was definitely not it. Looked somewhat like this.

The carb looked very similar to the modern versions as in above link. Money was tight back then. A friend sold me the carb and manifold with a supplied broken lug for about $20. I brazed the lug back on in high school and bought a kit for the carb. I used to like the difference in sound when the secondaries opened. As I recall top speed was somewhere between 105 and 110 MPH. I don't know what engine or car the parts originally came from but just a common old Y block I guess. I would have put it on in about 1968.
