A 4 Barrel Carb on a Straight 6
I have a '69 Mustang with a straight 6. Would it be worth putting a 4 barrel carb in it to boost the power? Would it make a significant difference without destroying the engine? Also, does 'octaine boost' fluid actually work and is it harmful to the engine?
Thanks.

the 4 barrel on the stock 6 would be a little overkill, no a lot of overkill. rpms destroy motors, not carb. it will help some under certain situations. it probably wont help you, but try it, it wont hurt anything. :D

i ment to say, try the octaine boost in the above post, not the 4 barrel carb. but to get back to the carb. i doubt that you can buy a 4 barrel carb. that the primaries are smaller than the carb on that 200 motor, but i agree that the right 4 barrel is more efficient on a bigger motors. :D
