    Basically my car has been operated only Idling depending on how long sometimes it takes to Idle.That simply is no fun!!Last time I took it out on the street was when I picked it up from my local shop.It felt alot better power wise(lower rpm power) with the new Torker 2 manifold I put on there in place of the Holley Strip Dominator.Anyway before I took it to the local shop I was backing the car down my driveway and the brakes failed.Well across the street was another home and driveway.I panicked trying to stop the Car and it hit the bumper of a late model chevy car.I did about $750 damage to that car and my back bumper just had some paint scratches.I thought it was that the cam was to big but it was something else. I also did not have a vacuum canister in there to help me with the Braking.I have it in there now.

    the big carb can work if tune in but just for a driver the small carb will work better .i have had very good luck with the afbs carter / edlebrocks i see this has how much farting around you want to do with your carb you have on it now at w.o.t this would be a good carb tune in . but if you are driving it and not looking for the max out of your com then small afb would work very good i have done this with a holley on a big block vett it was over carb for the rpm of the engine

    Another reason to stick with a vacuum secondary carb.
