I run a 600 DP on my 429 on the street. Works fine. I know it'll take up to a 850
with my cam intake headers etc, but for the street it runs good from stoplight
to stoplight.A Ranchero is NOT an El Camino

Your original carburetor was a Holley 64-5332, 850 cfm. In the event you’re interested, this carb is still available (rebuilt) from Summit for $290.99
I would agree with the above postings however - the 600 cfm is probably very drivable however, the original Holley would give a great sound when you nail it!
