Newest Addition. The original Holley 650 spreadbore took a crap, so I got a hold of a brand new Edelbrock 1407 750 4bbl carb(same carb that comes on new crate 360 motors) for 160 bucks. New pics of installation will be up in a few days when i head back to my parents house.

Man when I was little we had a Dodge Aspen. I always thought it was the coolest thing when I was young. I still want one. Yours (your dad's) look awesome! Cleaned up very well too. 5*

Good choice on carb! I went with the #1406 Edelbrock Performer Carburator with an electric choke (600CFM for my 360 build). The 750 Holley was a little to sensitive when were tuning the motor, so I made the switch.
