If you are using the stock intake you will have to have an adaptor made. You could probably use a small 2bbl off of a small V8, Autolite or Motorcraft. I have a used 1bbl from my old 223 that you could have. It may need cleaned and rebuilt, but it might have some good parts to fix yours or vise versa.

I have wondered about using the 2 stage 2bbl from an early 80s 4cylinder on a 223, it had a secondary like a 4bbl.

That would be a cool idea.

Hey, I found some more info on the Carbs I have....

They are (2 of them) MC2100.

I need to see what CFM they are, but here is the chart.

Bore... CFM
0.98....190
1.01....240
1.02....245
1.08....287
1.14....300
1.21....351
1.23....356
1.33....424

When I get a chance I am going to see what it would take to make one of there work on a 223.
