A guy I know wants to trade me his 750 cfm #80508-2 Holley for my 6 month old edelbrock #1405 600 cfm. Both have electric choke. My carb is in very good shape and I'm not sure about his. He said it was rebulit, but leaked a little around the main body. He said his looks new. Is that a good carb? Would you trade? Is that an older or newer carb? The main jets are 72's and the rear has a plate??? I think it is a vacuum secondary. Would that work for my mild ~400hp street driven 466?
Click on Carb Numerical Listing.. That will tell you about the carb in question..
Ok now that we have that out of the way.. If this is a street car.. Install nothing smaller then a Vac secondary 850.. If ya say no way.. I got 17Mpg on the highway with my old Mach1 (466 D3 heads).. using a 850..
nothing is in it for me except that I need a larger carb and this guy needs a smaller carb. My carb is in perfect condition, but it's just too small. The other guy said his was a good carb, but I don't know him too well and don't know the internal condition of that carb.
Les,
An 850? Right now I have an 850 dp and I don't like it. I have heard that those dp's like a lot of cam and my cam is mild (.504 lift). I just can't seem to get mine set right. My engine will spin 5500 rpm max. I guess a vacuum sec 850 would work better than my mech. dp 850?
I like the 750 vac carbs. On a mild 460 IMO would work good .
