There are some 2 barrel carbs from the Super Sixes that can be used. I don't recall a 2 barrel as stock on a '66. Also, low power could be a clogged muffler or tight valves. The lights on the instrument panel are independant from the gauges and wipers. The gauge problem could be broken traces on the circuit board or a bad instrument regulator (maybe even a loose connector on the circuit board). For the wipers, check the switch and connections to the switch. Chuck Quote:

The '66 SL6 used a 1 bbl carburetor. A 2 bbl Carter BBD was stock on the '77-'80 super six engines. The 2 bbl Holley 2280 was an aftermarket replacement for the SL6 Carter BBD. If your '66 has a 2-bbl intake manifold, then it has been converted, and can use either of these carburetors. Bob D BBobbias@aol.com |
