Hi I was wondering what would be the best choice to replace my old Ford 2 barrel EBU carb and manifold with? Im looking to go to 2 barrel or 4 barrel with electric choke...Im trying to make this a little easier for the wife to drive. Any suggestions would be great.

The '57-up "B" type manifold is a good way to go and I personally like the 525cfm Road Demon JR. but a lot of guys like the Edlebrock (AFB) carb.

You can also look into a Blue Thunder or Mummert manifold.

With the way prices of the "B" manifolds are increasing, IMO you can easily justify the price of the Mummert manifold.

Modern square bore carbs won't fit the A manifold...

I would also recommend toward the Mummert or blue thunder for the 4 bbl it is not much more $ and the added benefit of hp, and flow--I was set to get the Mummert, but then went with a 3x2 set up and put an automatic transmission behind it to make it easier for the wife to drive. It is all about compromises right?

The EBU carb is from a 239. Do you know what engine you have. it would be odd for someone to install an early 3 bolt intake and carb on a 292.

My concern is that you might have a 239 and have have trouble using a later large port intake.

That was my first thought also when I first read your post. What is a 3 bolt carb (and manifold) doing on a '60 truck and how did it get there?? When did Ford stop using the 3 bolt carbs, ~'55/'56?

And further, he lists the vehicle as a daily driver, including for his wife. A Mummert intake ? He lives in Rochester N.Y. That's not California..
