My 66 has a stock 305 e engine. It had the stromberg on when i bought it, it worked fine at first but started leaking, and was needing rebuilt. Im not afraid to rebuild any carb, but i talked to a couple guys that used to drive those trucks when they were new. Everybody said to take the gmc carb off and put one off of a chevy on it. After joining the forum, i decided to go with the holley 500. Bolted it on and it works great. I agree the holly is a little big for the v-6, but my engine doesn't mind it, runs the same as with the stromberg or better.
