I am planning on putting Dutra Duals on my 79 D100 truck. I have found a 2bbl on a 65 or 66 Chrysler. It is a Bendix Stromburg. Would this be a good carb and get decent milage? Will it perform well?

Thanks. Tony Keeler, Indianapolis

for what it is worth,i had those Strombergs (?same?) on stock 60 318 and 62 318. both ran perfectly for 125k + miles never opened them, 20 -22 mpg ,no flat spots, good mpg, good cold starts etc. hassle free carb. I am building a 273 replacing a 360 4bbl in a 79 dodge truck, (10 mpg, 4 wd) going for MPG this time, specifically found a 2bbl Stromberg off a 60's era pre pollution V8 van for it. .

Using inverted 4bbl to 2bbl adapter to put it on a new air gap 4 bbl manifold . sounds crazy in a way, but sick of dancing with holley's. lots of talk about them ( "use a small Holley 4bbl on 273") from guys who own them, in reality a pain in the azz to get running right...unless you don't have a life,and can spend years on it.

my .02, your mileage may vary..
