Rules Verification for a Newbie

Just make sure you have the correct bores on venturi and throttle blade. The date code, etc isn't an issue, just make sure you have the correct casting with the 1.08 or 1.12 ID on the bowl. For the most part the 1.12 Merc combos have been pretty beat up, most all of the cars you will find are running the 1.08 Ford combo in either SS or GT classes. People are also running the '68 Merc 302 with the Holley carb. It seems like the most preferable combo at the moment is the '64 Ford 1.08 carb combo.
