Carter BBD vs Holley 2280

the Holley 2280 or Carter bbd are very similar. I've run them both on super six set ups and honestly I've never been able to tell a difference. I do know its best to find one new if you can, as opposed to a remanufactured junk piece from Autozone.

This Holly r8691 is available on ebay right now and is a direct replacement for the 2280. I bought one a month ago and its currently running on my super six. its new, was set at the factory and needed very little adjustment.

Ive done a few super six conversions and I've found the brand of the carb you install is seldom an issue. As with any engine upgrade everything is dependent upon each other. The biggest concern with the super six upgrade are the exhaust leaks that might happen when making the swap. Also Is the timing set correctly? Are all the vacuum leaks taken care of around the carb? (Sometimes you have to tighten the screws that sandwich the carb together) Have you set the valve lash? And finally is the choke set correctly?

Good luck with your build. Holler if you have questions. Ive learned alot about what not to do...
