    Oldways,

    I'm not familiar with Holley numbers these days. But go to the Holley web page and look for a 600 CFM squareboare unit with vacuum secondaries and electric choke. Something like that should do well for you. If you want something that is configured more like your old Carter, take a look at the Edelbrock Performer series. Unit 1406 should do real well for you. Real easy to work on and excellent performance.

    Hope this helps, Good luck

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
