Hey guys
I have do a lot research lately on carbs for my recent purchase. i just bought a 77 short box 4x4 with a 460 and c6. it seemed to run ok and had ok power. from a dead stop it seems to cough unless you very easily give it some gas. even when doing 35 you have to ease into. its a holley carb, not sure what size. i took it to one of my parts suppliers and got a rebuild kit for it. it was a genuine holley carb kit so i felt pretty good about it. rebuilt it and slapped it back on and it ran way better. still had a slight cough from the start but ran way better. that only lasted for about 20 miles till it farted back through the intake and went back to the way it was before. i believe it blew the powervalve back out with i think was the problem before. if i am wrong let me know. the carb kit was 80dollars i think so i dont really want to do that again. i am going to put my money towards a new one. i have read alot of articles about carbs and have decided on a 750 holley or a 750 edelbrock. the holley has the automatic kick down built on but the ede has to use some adapter plates. am i right? what is a better fit. as far as i know its bone stock at this point but i plan on upgrades. i attatched a picture of the carb numbers.
Thanks for the help!
