Default Re: 2 barrel carb

Sorry, but respectfully I disagree that EBU carbs were used at all in the '55 model year. The 272 in '55 required a different (larger) venturi size (1 1/16"). I don't think engineering would release a carb too small for peak power. I have never seen any documentation for this other than "I had a friend that had '55 that had an EBU carb on it". In my opinion, if it did have one installed, it was done after the assembly line.
