Default Carburetor sizing calculator

Here is a link to Quick Fuel's Carburetor sizing calculator. Have fun with this! Scroll down to find the interactive puter!! One of the most common questions asked in this forum.."What size carb do I need?"

I just checked the link. Works fine. Squirt some WD-40 into your puter

I squirt Kahlua into my PC instead of WD-40. It sticks in there longer. In fact I think I'll check the bottle to make sure I don't run out...

How do we know what the volumetric efficiency of our engine is ? Must be an average for a stock engine etc.....

Hard to get over 80% without a Blower or Turbo...

The best throttle response I ever had on a 350 between the stop lights was a Holley 500 2B...Run the numbers and see why...I have a 600 4B on my current 350...

Now if you are Drag Racing Double the number that you see on the Calculator...That is a whole different story...
