rebuild recommendations

old truck:
Yes, I double checked, its a 17058272. It being a pont, buick,olds shouldnt matter or does it?  Thanks for the input/advice everyone.

Ethan1:
 I don't think it matters. If you were doing a stock Chevy and had the straight fuel inlet, it would be "alittle" difficult to route the fuel line. Since your not doing that, the BOP carb would be fine. That is the reason I asked. Let's see if Cliff would recommend that carb.

Cliff Ruggles:
The later carb is going to be the best choice, because it will accept an electric choke.  It's going to need some help, being from a Pontiac 301 engine, but it is an excellent unit once correctly set-up for what you are doing.  The 73 Chevy second, and I would avoid the 67 carb all together.....Cliff

old truck:

Cliff Ruggles:
Get one of our kits, quick release choke pull-off, e-choke and tuning components.  Use the 2nd recipe for idle fuel delivery.

We also need to send solid secondary fuel nozzles and the long stop on the secondary airflap shafts needs shortened up per the instructions in our book.....Cliff
