I don't have the big window carb

Being in CA, I'm sure you'll find a nice one soon enough :beer:

Ill keep looking

Few things about the large window carb. You will need to get another intake manifold for the one barrel carb. The air cleaner was also different. On a 62 most came to the US with a oil bath air cleaner. These were shorter on the top piece until the 64s. Instead of the mount bolting to the far forward bolts on the head it was moved one bolt back. Can't tell from the pictures which air cleaner you have. Sean I believe has a rare large window two barrel carb which would probably work with your set up if you could find one of those.
