carb choice and slick size
Well I think I have decided to go with a 600 or 650 holley street avenger... anyone running one of theses
Hey:
I run a 670 street avenger as my cruise/ light strip carburetor.
Its plenty for your motor. My car has run 11s in the quarter with that carb. It is great for the street also. Very responsive, quick to start. My combo needed a 35 squirter and up a couple of jet sizes for peak performance.
I have an approximately 3500 stall converter and it works fine with this carb.
I prefer slicks to drag radials for consistency. Drag radials are capable of the same 60' times as slicks *but* they are much fussier about track surface. Also, they are harder on driveline parts than a slick.
Terre Haute is a great track. It hooks well so you might be able to get a drag radial to work. On my 71 Dart I run either a MT 255/60/15 or a Hoosier 26*8.5 stiffwall slick. I run a 15*8 wheel with 5.5 backspace (I run Pro Stars, but anything should work). I do have to run a 3/8 spacer for peace of mind.
My car has been 1.5 60' lots of times.
If you end up needing a spacer, let me know and I can show you which to get.
Good luck!
Steve
