4779 Holley DP. Been around forever, works on a 318 or 440. I've seen them work great on a 15 second ride, and on 10 second rides. I mean, what other carb will cut a 1.8 60 ft times on a stock 360 with a stock converter and 2.94 gears??? Do I sound partial?Exactly. Like the TQ and the Qjet. Just understand that to take the bog out (and you should tune it so there isn't a bog...some dudes like the big VaaaHaaaaaWhaaaa when the secondaries are opened and the air valve flies open like a screen door...if your lucky when we get cheeseburgers I'll tell you why years ago I stopped tuning TQ/Qjet carbs...it's a regular deal) you may never get the air valve all the way open. Some guys think that's ok, but I'm not one of them.
Same for the 1850/3310 Holley carbs. Most of the time, the secondaries never open all the way. And I hate that.
Like I've said before...brass and drill bits are cheap. It's much easier to configure a Holley style carb.

You sound partial and like a broken record......4779 Holley DP. Been around forever, works on a 318 or 440. I've seen them work great on a 15 second ride, and on 10 second rides.

If I can find them for 40% off I'd already be shooting your pictures of them...Maybe if they are 40% off...... MAYBE !!!!!!
I'd say a terrible combo with a great working carb. Don't forget the driver/tuner tooYou sound partial and like a broken record......
Did you ever think that 60 foot time could just be the dumb luck of the combination......
I like your thought process on this!It doesn't matter what other people think and yes it's my money.. BUT, not taking into consideration what other people know? Or have experienced? Or know of a better product? Or know of a better price?.. I thought that was the good part about the Forum getting to ask questions... I remember I had to run out and snap up that 8-quart milodon oil pan that's been nothing but a pain in the butt notching my frame in the whole nine yards just to be told later that everybody knows about that... Damn it I didn't or I would have never bought the damned thing... What title says just want to make sure I'm not doing nothing terribly wrong here..
Again the title says it I'm pretty set on them, but I haven't ordered anything and this is a forum where I could be suede a different direction if it's warranted...
Again one carb that came with the car and one carb that was given to me as scrap metal and then work just fine for the last 5 years or more. I'm wanting something new for my car- something that not only makes it run better but makes it look better as well. Well my bucket seats are desperate for upholstery I'm more into the way it runs and it's Mechanicals I would really like some brand new carburetors to start from scratch clean and tune them together...
You of all people! Promax to small block Speedmaster to Big Block Speedmaster...
Now who's starting this spacebook (that's what I call it) drama..
LOL I said to my wife 318 said this and he said that and her only answer with a quizzical face was I thought he wasn't coming back to the beginning of the year!II'd say a terrible combo with a great working carb. Don't forget the driver/tuner too
Remember, it's carbs were talk'n

Bahahaha..
You'll have to think what you may, sorry, no details.I said he got all grumpy and picked up his sandcastle making tools and walked away with his bottem lip sticking out but he's back..
I will start with the last thing first and the first thing first.. if yellow rose met me for lunch or agreed to this week I would hold off on buying my carburetors until said conversation was had.. "BUT" (and if I could make that "BUT" as big as the size of the whole entire viewing screen I would!!).. it's been two or three years now and I just don't see it happening and can't put my life on hold till it does...So you spent $800 on budget heads and now you want to take off running carbs and spend $600 on new ones?, who are you and what have you done with budget man jpar? lol. Seriously do you really want to spend that much on carbs that may or may not be an improvement?, I'm just saying you may give this one some thought before plunking any cash down. Go to lunch with Yr first.
okay first of all just so you know I'm paying attention how did your moms surgery go today or did it??..
Second of all "if I'm lucky when we get cheeseburgers" I am ready tomorrow...
At 11 a.m. I need to get my yearly physical (I'm over 50 so I fear the finger is inevitable!)
A cheeseburger would help get my mind off of what just happened....
There is these carburetors that sell for $240 and they're refurbished new?.. these and even the ones that you showed me when I looked them up they are vacuum secondary? Also they said they estimate that they'll be sent out by Christmas.. I am not a fan I'm sending out my money for something that's not in stock...Twin 4160 series 450s. On a one inch spacer. (The carbs were to low for my liking.)

But you know how i dis like vacuum secondary carbs.
When my foot pushes the skinny pedal to the tin, i know for a fact that my carbs are wide open. If it dont run good i fu@ked off on the tune....
You should be able to pick up a set for cheep.
Have you read up on the ones that I'm looking at?.. the street demon 625..Twin 4160 series 450s. On a one inch spacer. (The carbs were to low for my liking.)
