Yes. However, replacing the stock dual carb-AT setup will first involve finding a _good_ pair of matched PDSIT carbs and manifolds (and there is plenty of scope for obscure things to wear out and make a carb junk), rebuilding them and then finding the highly rare special parts for the AT, which even you've never seen Jim, as well as the special dual-carb vacuum modulator for the tranny. Once you've done that you then have to install it all correctly and then tune and balance them, making sure of course that whatever distributor you've got will actually work with them (vacuum advance etc.) There's probably more that I've forgotten. Then of course everything will hum nicely. Took me months to even get near to having all work correctly.
