Description: Alright, so I decided it was time to break up the body work with a little something different. The truck still has the original 283 V8 with along with the stock carb, headers, etc. So until I get the chance to drop in a new crate motor(a ways down the road, I figured I might as well do some bolt on upgrades. First up was the carb. I've always had the best luck with Holley, so that's the route I decided to go--and holy crap, what a difference it made, I truly wasn't expecting such an improvement. The responsiveness is night and day, and I think the extra CFM over the stock Rochester is being put to good use, as the full throttle performance is significantly better.
