    I've seen a lot of the small Chevy V8s from the 60's with the small 2G carb, 283s and the 307 that Fireball mentioned. It would be nice to find a 225 carb though, it'll have the manual choke (unless it's off a Commando) and the weird throttle arm that the Dauntless used.

    Copy all the above. Being on a fixed budget the $350 eBay options are out of my league. I will, however, pursue some other local options (we have LOTS of "home junkyards" around here) now that I have this additional info. We have a steady flow of older vehicles passing thru the local metal recycler as well, so I'll need to exercise some patience. I'll live with the 1 bbl for now.
    BTW; Is there some other non-original V-6 carb that fits the manifold that others are using and satisfied with?
    MANY thanks to those who took the time to help me figure this issue out (especially Fireball & jeep guy). I'll also place a WTB here soon. All of my budget is going towards bumper to bumper service, u-joints and brakes for now (can't believe the cost of parts these days). Fortunately, my heep came with new tires and a BestTop!
