Dave,
You've seen my '65 D200. I bored an original 2bbl manifold and made an adapter plate to mount a Holley 350 cfm 2bbl. I ran the numbers way back, and it indicated that the 500 cfm Holley 2bbl would be too much for the RPM I'd be running. W/ 4.10 gears, I've averaged over 15 mpg on the highway.
On another note, I've got both a 3 deuce and the Weiand 4bbl manifold for the Poly. I am planning on putting the six pack set-up in the '66 W300, maybe this summer, just to see how it runs.
Hopefully see you around. How did weather the snow from Sandy?
Paul
