if i had the money i would buy a holley 390cfm 4 barrel carb. it is about the perfect carb for running a 318. unfortunately i don't have the $400 to spend on a carb.

It has a old Holley 2 barrel on it. But I read somewhere that some older dodges came with the Holley carb to. Not exactly sure how true this is but. As soon as i get back out to the truck and its light enough ill post a picture of the one i have.
I know its leaking from the gasket where it mounts to the intake. which definitely needs to be fixed.
