No, but if I do, the BPS units would be my choice if they're still
available.

======
No, but I would use a dual plane, such as an Edlebrock 2101, with either a
480CFM Quadrajet or 600CFM Holly spreadbore. I haven't measured, but the
stock air filter may not clear the hood with these.

I use a Holly 2300 500CFM 2bbl. It's basically a bolt on, and improves
performance, mileage, and especially, driveability. With the stock cam, I
doubt there would be much, if any, improvement going to a 4bbl.

The T'bird, but it has a different cam, ignition curve, exhaust manifold,
and it's stock carb is as crummy as the Bricklin's OEM 2bbl.

My dad had one, and we swapped the carb / manifold for the above 2101 and
Holly spreadbore.
