Subject:Upgrade for a Slant-6

I have a 225 Slant 6 in my 64 Barracuda. Runs good when it runs. Unfortunately, it sets for extended periods of time (it's an Ohio thing - Winter-related). Current rusty gas tank is in the process of being replaced (new tank, sending unit, rubber seal and pad). I am trying to get it to start off of a small gas can to move it so I can replace the tank, etc, and am getting gas through the pump to the carb, and through the in-line filter, but I can not see any gas into the carb (it will start for a few seconds with gas down the carb or with starting fluid). Guess tomorrow I will disassemble the carb to look at the floats, etc.

Question: Is anyone making a 1-bbl replacement for the 225? Or, I do have an intake for a 2-bbl carb and could go that way, but the accelerator set-up for those carbs are pretty specific to the /6. What would I look for in a new 1-bbl or 2bbl 225 carb?

PS: Received the quarter panel patch panels for the Barracuda today from Classic Industries (they had a 10% cost break) and that is in the offing too. They look OK and the lines are pretty close. Still mulling over paint color choices....Thoughts?

Thanks,

Larry
