I've even thought of rigging a linkage to the dash so it can be done on the fly. What would be good candidates for a different carb that can be screw adjusted?
You could always toss on a 2bbl by swapping the manifold or getting a 2bbl carb adapter ... obvious as it is that what you are doing is opposite of what is popular and it should be very cheap. I sold a nice 2bbl carb manifold setup I had on my 68 camaro 327 for $75


good luck, looking forward to see what #'s you pull I will swap my truck to carb if the TBI ever gave me an issue.
