Check the upper hose location. All small blocks were on the driver side, two different widths available. Slant 6's had either side of inlet available depending on options.
All big blocks were the wide width, non A/C had driver side inlet, A/C were passenger side inlet.
Good beginning point. However... You can have the crank 180 degrees off. So without having the valve cover off and a pressure tester adapter, there's one way to find out. Give it a try, if it fires up and runs, excellent. If it won't fire up (don't try for too long or you might flood the plugs...
Nope. Van wheels are the same as pickup wheels. Most 5 bolt 70's van wheels were only 5.5 inch wide, 6.5 wide usually rub on the strut rod. 1/2 ton 70's pickups came with 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 and 8 inch wide stock/factory optional rims. The off-set is always neutral or very close to that.

Do yourself a favor and don't do it. I've had these trucks with headers in, nothing but a pain in the ass! Shortys will usually fit but are still in the way of the starter/wiring. Long tube usually end right in front of a cross-member! A good quality set that ACTUALLY fits like they're supposed...

I took these off of a free parts truck a few years ago because the guy I got it from wanted them back and was going to use them on something. I guess that didn't happen.
I know the big Holley has a larger mounting pattern. That carb was never on a 318 so it'd require an adapter plate (good luck with that) or swap out a 360 intake. I think the other two are the same, but I've never had the two of them off next to each other before.
That factory smaller Holley is actually a pretty good carb. Sound like it need a good rebuild or just replace it with the same model (keeps all the linkages the same).
The Carter 2BBL is an excellent carb, better economy but probably not as much power as your original. The 70's Holley 2BBL is...
Actually I've been thinking about it. I'm getting deployed in a few months and would like to clear the yard off before I go. 84 (legitimately) a 1 option rig and about as clean of a survivor as you'll find. I'm gonna want a lot for it. If you're interested send me a PM.
