Unfortunately when my son rebuilt it, he did not check the jet sizes etc so I have no idea whats in there. Also thinking of just putting a Truck Avenger on it. Would a 670cfm be to much carb, or would the 470cfm be a better option?
Yeah, I was guessing it was a used carb., that's why I mentioned establishing a baseline setting. None of the info. myself or anybody else has given will do any good if the previous owner drilled out the air bleeds in the venturi body, also if they drilled any of the passages in the primary or secondary metering block you'll at least be able to replace that.
Used carbs. are a real craps shoot, I won't touch them. The reason I suggested such a small (numerically) power valve is because most carbs PVs are set to open WAY too early which is just a waste of fuel and, ultimately, bottom end torque, but run what works best for your truck. A stock 350 c.i. engine at 6500 RPM only draws about 490 CFM, so it's pretty easy to see that a stock 360 that will probably never see 4500 RPM doesn't need much carburetor, this is why AMC put 500 CFM 2 barrels on them, unless you're needing more for a performance application a 600 CFM Holley ought to work just fine, but they can be a tuning nightmare unless you're a Holley guru, or unless you become one the hard way.
