1966 327 4brl carb recomendations?

I picked up a stock 4brl intake for my 66 ambassador recently. also picked up a draw thru turbo set-up, but since it looks like it wouln't fit in the engine bay without cutting the hood, i'm going to scrap that project for now and just swap the intake and get a new carb. the old 2brl is giving me problems right now anyways - got a slight crack/leak at the fuel line/bowl, runs fine at high way speeds but stalls at stop signs/idle, stays running with slight choke....... anyway....

The 500cfm 2300 gave me fits.  I had a nasty flat spot I was able to improve but not eliminate.  Switching to a 4V 500cfm the 290 is a completely different motor. Ultimately I thought the 2300 and the 2V intake just didn't play nice together.  Maybe if the 327 2V intake is different it would work, but maybe what makes it suitable as a circle track carb might make it a PITA for a driver?

I got a 2300 500 cfm on a stock 304 and runs great. Yes I had to "play with it" but you would have to do that for most if not all carbs not ment for the motor/car it is on. Few carbs are "run out of the box".

I run the 600 Edelbrock Performer with electric chocke on my 327, Runs good without any problems right out of the box. I am no longer using a exhaust manifold heat riser as it is not needed when you use the electric choke. But after I installed my homemade torker intake I had to rejet the carb.

One thing to know about 2 bbls is they are flowed at 3" hg and a 4 bbl is 1.5" hg. So a 500 2 bbl is actually the same as a 354 4 bbl. Still pretty small for a V-8!!
