So here's the issue!
I swapped from the old 355 last year to this Kim Barr Racing 383 last May and I need advice on choosing a good daily driver carb.
The engine was originally tested and outfitted with a Holley 750 DP,but the PO removed it and installed a 600 Edelbrock.
The Edelbrock carb was terrible since I needed starting fluid to start the car every time it sat overnight and it always ran lean. After enough of playing with that POS,I installed my Q-jet and got my mpg's back and had an easier time with my car.
I'm looking to either rebuild or change the carb due to the bogging [email protected] and mpg improvement.(yes both fuel filters are clean)
Whats are my options?
Rebuild my 750 Qjet,Holley 670,or Holley 750?
This car is a daily driver with occasional track/race time since its more of a sleeper.
Will downgrading to a Holley 670 improve mpg's while gaining performance or do I go with a Holley 750 since that's what this hot rod engine originally came with?
I want to also feel my secondaries like the Q-jet.
I've yet to see a performance engine with a stock Q-jet on top of it like mine...:dontknow:
(The Qjet has never been rebuilt since I had the car.(3 1/2 years)
