Thread: carb?

Have older Holly on '75 460 which is stock-any names for a good replacement carb would be appreciated. I plan to use this as a daily driver.

I PERSONNALY LIKE EDELBROCKS. IF IT WAS MINE I WOULD DO A 700 TO 800 EDELBROCK.THE ELECTRICE CHOKE IS ABOUT $40 MORE OR SO. IF YOU WANT TO JUST SLAP IT ON AND GO WITH VERY LITTLE ADJUSTING THATS THE WAY TO GO. SCS

yes the edelbrock with electrice choke will do a fine job a 750 would do the job if you do not races it the 750 would be ok

You guys(is this politically here?) are a great help to a newbe.

I BELIEVE WHAT PAT IS REFERING TO IS THE 750 COULD AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TOP END POWER FADE ON ONLY A 750. I BELIEVE THAT AN 800 IS AS BIG AS EDELBROCK MAKES THIER CARBS. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A HOLLY WHICH IS MORE TUNABLE FOR RACE APPLICATIONS AND YOU CAN GET THEM BIGGER THEN AN 800. I HAD A 460 IN A 76 1 TON FORD X-CAB THAT WAS ONLY BORED 30 OVER AND JUST A MILD RV CAM. OTHER THEN THAT ALL STOCK DUAL EXUAST AND SUCH. IT WASNT PUT TO GETHER FOR HIGH RPMS AND IT WORKED GREAT FOR ME. NOW I AM BIAS ABOUT HOLLYS BUT THAT IS (1) I DONT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THEM TO WORK ON THEM TO TUNE THEM SO THAT THEY RUN RIGHT.(2)I FEEL THAT A EDLEBROCK AND CARTER CARBS SEEM TO BE ALOT MORE CRISP ON THEIR OPERATION WHEN STOMPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAD A HOLLY 850 DOUBLE PUMPER ON MY 428. I THEN PUT A 750 EDELBROCK ON IT LOVED IT. NOW I HAVE DUAL 500 EDELBROCKS ON IT AND HAVE NO POWER FADE TO 6800 RPMS ACCUALLY PAST 7500 RPMS I DONT SEEM TO HAVE ANY POWER FADE BUT...... I MISSED THIRD GEAR AND SHOT THE MOTER WELL OVER 7500 RPMS. NOW I HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF HEADS (BENT 3 VALVES BADLY) AND A CRANE REV LIMITER TO PREVENT ANOTHER ISSUE LIKE THAT...
