    all spread bore carbs will bolt to a spread bore intake holley .carter .Qjet and you can put the carb facing what ever way it will bolt on the intake the carb will not know wich way it runs down the road the floats may work one way better then another under hard use . but it will work

    Alright folks, I got this thing running like a top. unfortunetly I dont own the carb that im using but I do know that a dif carb will work wonders. I dont know what the big difrence is but a friend of mine is letting me use his holley 850 single feed dual bowl spread bore carb. he said it came off his olds cuttless 455. An this thing shits n gitts. it sucks its winter here in maine but this thing is balls to the walls. I cant even imagine what this would be like with a set of the aluminum heads makin another 100 hp. this thing is crazy. I am so happy i cant even express it. thank you to everyone on here for there ideas. they were all 100 % helpfull. No more flat dead spot. an its weird but it doesnt seem like its dumping as much fuel as the 750 was. It is a totally difrent car. I just need to find my own carb now LOL. so thank you all very much.
