Thread: what carb?

i havent opened it up yet.
but i did take some vacuum movies.
one is of the engine in drive
and the other is me punching the throttle

from what i have read i should put the automatic tranny in drive and the divide my vac reading by 1/2 and that would be the correct power valve to use.
so i guess that would be a 6.5 Hg

i just don't want it to die at stoplights and bog way down when accelerating anymore

not too big on carb model numbers, but for that size engine, you really shouldnt need more than a 600cfm size carb.

X2 on the 600cfm carb.
I run an edelbrock, or holly 600 with electric choke on most of my builds . Most of the time it's edelbrock, cuz I can never find a good used holly. That carb you have now iif set up for circle track is prolly dumping a lot of fuel that you don't need. especially at stop lights. It's prolly jetted way too high and set to run at high rpm.

i just bought this on ebay (hope it's the right one)

Holley #37-1543 Carburetor Rebuild Kit NIB Fast Kit Model 2300 2 barrel

there are apparently 1000's of variables.
so i am going to use the holley fast kit and start from there.
(besides the vacuum tests,fuel level check i have already done)

Did ya get it dialed in?
Haven't heard from you in awhile. Where have ya been?
