I think the stats say just using the B carb it adds a HP or so while if you bore out your intake port, you can get additional HP's.
Good luck with your pickup. BTW did you change the oil before you started running it around? May want to do that because the oil may contain a lot of stuff that doesn't do your engine much good.

I think you're right. A shop had some dyno numbers with the various combinations, but the B carb didn't look like it really have any gains. I changed the oil before running it. The oil pan and rear main seals are leaking pretty badly so I will drop the pan and really clean it out and change the oil again this winter.
