Thread: Carburetor choice.

i have use holleys and the afb.s. the afb with a adapter for the square bore and no more then 5 psi on the fuel up to the carb for the afb i would use the AFB...

Wait so the afb is a spreadbore pattern? Thats no good then. One of the reasons Im switching my carb is because of the need for a spacer which makes it impossible to run a airbreather. {high rise intake and spacer and carb is just too high}.

Thanks Steve

The most driveable Carburator that I've ever found is a Single Line 600 CFM Holley. I don't use the 1850 Model I use the one that is recomend for your engine appliaction.

No I have a spread bore carburetor right now. Its a q jet. But My intake bolt pattern is squarebore. Which means I have to run a spacer which creates the too high problem. My q jet is also having some other problems. Once I find the carb I wanna set on top then Ill take off the q jet and tear it apart and try to learn something. Anyways thanks for the help everyone unfortunatly there has been a misunderstanding between the seller and I and he would rather not sell me the carburetor anymore.

Thanks Steve
PS: Yea I think I might look into finding a holley. Time proven technology, good performance and plentiful.

You might be able to solve your too high problem with a drop base air cleaner. I run a 3" on both the Mustang and Duster and there is no hood interference on either.

No we tried that. Its VERY close but not quite. I need a new carb anyways my q jet is screwed!
