RE: dual Holley 500s............

Pete,
A lot of the bad press that these systems get is self induced by owners and mechanics who just can't tune one carburetor, let alone two. If any carb gets left for long periods with today's complex formula gasoline there is hell to pay. Power valves rot out from the aggressive chemicals in the gas that become concentrated as it evaporates.

The other problem is when people try to use their "friend's" tuning tricks on a Holley. Sometimes these tricks include plugging the power valve, drilling the air bleeds or jets. Then when it leaves black smoke clouds, loads up idling or fouls plugs the explanation is " Well these 8V setups are like that". I say bull___t to that story.

If you ever get a chance to ride in a '67 GT500 that is set up like it came from the factory you will be blown away by the awesome driveability of it.

The original spec carbs are available brand new right now, Carl's Ford Parts has them in stock for about $900 a pair. A little more initial outlay than the 500 2V's and adapters but it will bolt on and work right straight out of the box.
