    Just for confirmation, are you looking to upgrade? I believe the '56 Special used a 2-bbl carb.

    Paul, I remember you, I have been to your place when you were working on that Buick Pick-up. I have a manifold just need a carb, but if the price is right? I could get both! E-mail me with asking price. THANKS, Ed

    In case you find a 54-55 Carter and in case you don't already know,I think there is a height difference between the 54-55 and the 56 carbs. the 56 is lower profile I believe to give clearance for the lowered hood elev.

    Thanks MR Earl, wouldn't want to have to cut a hole in the hood! Where carters and rochesters available in '56, which one would be a better choice?

    Thriller, yes it is a 2 bbl now and needs rebuilt but I was considering going to a 4 bbl cause gas is only $2.89 a gallon and I want to make sure the poor oil executives don't go broke this summer!!!!! HA
