Re: [gremlintime] The trouble with two barrels

["Dave & Avie Shaver" <dshaver@xxxx>]

I am putting a 2 barrel set up from a 78 Concord in my 71 Gremmie. I have
been told that early 80's 2 barrels from Dodge Trucks work but you need to
make your own linkage. I have also been told that late sixties 2 barrels
bolt up like a dream but, only if you have no emissions testing where you
live. I have the carb from the 78 Concord and all I have to do is plug
unused holes. I had rebuilt it for my son and 2 weeks later the motor threw
a rod. Look at any 2 barrel base to determine if it will fit as long as the
linkage is on the same side.
