Thread: Carburetor Suggestion...

I have a 383 stroker, aluminum heads 64cc, aluminum roller rockers, 557 cam ( not sure of duration) Looking for a good 750 carb for it. Thanks

It all depends what you like or prefer: Edelbrock or Holley. Personally, I use an Edelbrock 750 on my 383. There is nothing wrong with a Holley 750. I have had both, and for a street rod or cruiser, I prefer Edelbrock. They get a little better gas mileage once they are dialed in. Now if you are going to drag race, then I would recommend Holley. Holley's can make a little more power and there are more elements to manipulate in order to dial it in more exactly.

Absolutely agree with this - not sure how long Holleys will stay available tho - they've filed for bankruptcy twice in the past couple of years and with the economy still in the tank who know if they can reorganize and make the market/stock holders happy,,,,,,,,,,they might just end up like Tecumseh engines

I plan on doing more drag racing than street driving. I was looking at the Demon series carbs but the where talking about duration. Didnt know if that applies to the holleys though. Thanks.

I would not use a Demon if it were the last carb on earth. Absolutely the worst customer service on the planet from my experience. After about a half dozen emails the service rep was threatening to kick my azz. I finally went with a Quick Fuel. I found the guy on a web page. He buys direct from Quick Fuel, and builds the carb to fit your cars needs. He takes the specs from your car, all motor specs, car itself, rear gear, tranny type, tire size, purpose of the car, and altitude also. And within a week or so its there. He says he does about 25 carbs a week. There is no charge for the tweeking charged, and you get the unused changed parts along with it, and some extra jets for just in case stuff. Give him a call and at talk to him and see what you think.

Thanks for the info, I heard The Quick Fuel carbs are pretty reliable.

What about the Holley HP??

I've had good luck with this guy:
