Hi,
I just got started with a 65' original. It' like yours has had some work done at various stages but it appears that it's all original mechanicaly. After sitting for 5 years and having about 1 gallon of gas in it at all times (long story)the fuel system was in trouble. I replaced the tank, lines, and carb since I want a daily driver as well. I used a Holley 675 cfm "Avenger". It's a single pumper however. Only real installation problem was the fuel feed is on the other side. We had to wire the electric choke into the fuse panel. But the kick down and assorted vacum connections work fine. Some of the original clips need to be changed or modified as well. Approx. 2 hrs work. At the Holley web site if you use their calculator the car should not run anything above 600 cfm. It looks like the stock Holley is about 500cfm. I will say that it looks like mine will need some smaller jets to smooth out the idle and improve cold running (it want to stall until it warms up). Electric choke works fine. Hope this was some help.
