Which 427 is it if you know? '69 B bodies had two with 10.25 compression, a 335 HP standard performance & a 390 HP high performance. Both are gross ratings. The standard would of had a Q-Jet, the hi po should of had a Holley. I'd bet on the 335 HP one is the one you have. Now with it being a DD you might want to even look into '68-'75 A body manifolds as a back up plan just to hit the road. With the carb look for something close to OE spec. Regardless of direction you go a stock 427 is going to give you more power than you would expect.
