1966 327 Bel- Air wagons are 270hp and use holley , carter avs or quadajet carb. Tom

327 275@270! though the 396/325 combo looks Ok...K add weight to L (no brainer stay in K)

I'd go with the 283-easy to work on and drive and a good consistent combo to get used to 'cept for hot humid air.

Hey ED, be kind. My car is 4400 in O/sa. The 283 is the best bet. The 4GC can be better then the Q-Jet. I do alot of 4GC carbs.

Be a man and run it with a stick......lol. All kidding aside there is less competition in a stick class. With todays upgraded parts I doubt you will break it very often. Cal Method from Washington state ran a stick 283 Wagon years ago before Jerico trans, etc. and was a killer in his class.
