i have turned around more than once

Don't worry, I will be headed back the way we came.

Oh come on…. You’ve got gravity to help you get to the bottom.

That is true, it will quit rolling eventually...

Just an idea though....and im not sure if they even did...but how high of elevations were the factory 2150 high altitudes rated for? Just get a 2 to 4 adaptor and bolt that on up high. Be alot cheaper and less headache....just an idea. But like i said i dont know what they were jetted at

Actually the Ford variable venturi carbs are supposed to be awesome at altitude... but then you have a pile of obsolete that everybody that has been around them seems to hate and nobody really knows if they ever worked correctly when new.

I was thinking more like cobbling togther as in being roadside\trailside and either getting it going or walking.

I once used a bottle cap to jam open a choke linkage..cant do that if a coolant sensor fails...

that kinda stuff

No need when every O'Reilly has a wall full of Edelbrock parts...

Really I don't think my Edelbrock has really ever given me any problems. I was chasing my tail last year with a hard start issue, I found a couple possible wiring issues but nothing really fixed until I put a new battery in it. It seems the voltage to the ignition was getting sapped by the starter so it had weak spark when cranking.

Really, I run a ton of carbs. Keep good fuel in them and don't let them sit forever and they run great. Again the reasons I am going to EFI have nothing to do with reliability in a strand me on the side of the highway kind of way.
