Hey there -

I still have not solved the issues with my Volvo 501b. It stumbles on hard acceleration, and it stumbles hard at WOT. Eventually, it boogers up the plugs and barely runs at all.

I had the Carb rebuilt, but I'm starting to think the rebuild is not cutting it.

I'm considering purchasing a new carb to try swapping it in. I'm considering the Edelbrock 1409 600cfm carb. Will this mate up to the bore on a 501b Volvo? It's a 305GM block... I don't know the difference between a square bore and a spread bore!

Also, what else would I need to plumb the carb to the fuel line? Right now, I have a single line that T's into the two ports on the stock holly carb.

Thanks for your guidance!
Jim
