The Ford Barn

I have a non original 56 tbird. 292 with a borg warner t-10 4 speed. Back in the day dad had a Carter wfcb on it but it's been sitting in the barn for 50 years and doesn't look the greatest. Took it apart to clean it and it's a mess looks like a total pain to work on / rebuild so I have been looking new at carburetors .

One that pops up a lot is the Edelbrock 500 cfm performer but there are at least 4 different types. 1403 , 1404, 1901 , 1902. two are manual 2 are electric choke. Would an electric choke be alright? I'm not sure the difference between the 14's and 19's ?

I will be installing it on a holley/edelbrock to carter wcfb 4 barrel carburetor adapter on the 56 style intake manafold.

I'm pretty sure besides wiring the distributor, plumbing in the fuel and vacuum lines, figuring out how to connect the throttle linkage , all that's left add fluids, battery and to fire up the engine. oh and all the little things that I might have missed lol.
