What carb do you have... if it's a BBD on top of a 258, I would rebuild it and do a NUTTER BYPASS, mine ran great until I put the 4.0 head on and I went with a Motor Craft 2100 (E-Bay) with a larger CFM due to the better flow from the 4.0 head... both worked well, even with the EXTREME angles one hits in Fla. :lol: You can also get a 2100 with a (1.08) @ 290 CFM that will work well on a stock 258. I ran a (1.21), @ 350 CFM, with the 4.0 head.

Rebuilding is a good option and cheap too. Just get a Haynes manual for all your instructions and diagrams. Good luck.
Yes I drive a station wagon, Yes its an AMC so just deal with it!!

I know for sure it isnt a BBD I know that it is a HOLLEY can't find the model number the only prob i have with it is the rich smell of fuel thats killing me when i drive it and twice it didnt want to turn over and my engine is a 4.2 inline 6

Take it to a carb shop, find out what model it is and rebuild it, sounds like a rebuild might get rid of the smell and poor performance at the same time.
