OK I currently have a 4barrel 650 carb but it not working right and am now in the market for a new carb. running a moderate cam but plan to uses a preformance cam eventually with a high rise intake. Headers are also soon on the way and i plan to run straight pipes. So any suggestions would be a great help on a good preformance carb.

I love the holley carbs.they are simple and quite dependable. I run a 670 dual inlet single pumper four barrel on my 350 chevy drag car. the size of carburetor you run will not necessarily make the car run any faster. if it is only capable of pulling 500 cfm then any thing bigger is pretty much overkill. However it doesn't hurt to run too big a carb. If you are getting more rad in the future then by all means carb up now.

First off do you have a 2 or 4 barrel manifold ?
Second, Have you done any engine mods ?
4 barrel no mods: Holley 600 or 650 or Edlebrock 600 or 650
A little more information on you engine would be a great help

I first want to say I love the fact that your keeping a dying breed of cars alive! Second I would go with a Holley they have always worked great for me. I put one on my 1965 Mustang (but I have a 289) coupe. I hope it eorks out for you!

I would find someone that knows how to tune what you have before spending any money. if you can get it right you might be suprised. also... maybe rebuilding that carb with some trick parts might help too. a good cleaning, new gaskets, and some add ons could really make a difference.

i would have to suggest getting a quadrajet carb, there not too expensive and they have a good amount of power but the hard part is trying to find one, they stopped making them in the early 90's i believe.

Go w/ a Holley no larger than 600 cfm
