    Hi all, I have a 1974 comet with an inline 6 and was wondering what carb suggestions you all might have. The current one either needs to be rebuilt or replaced. New to comets so not sure what to do.
    Thanks
    Ray

    The Motorcraft one barrel is a solid carb, but if you need peformance you could put on a 390 cfm Holley with an adapter. If You did this though you should step up the cam and install a set of headers.

    I suggest you rebuild the carb you have. Not all that hard to do.
