Carb CFM recommendations

I absolutely agree with you and Jason both here.
Put something on there that is easy to deal with, set it and drive the heck out of it.
600 is plenty for a driver 318.

I got my Edlebrock 600 electric choke out of the pick and pull for 40 bucks and it's been flawless on my 5.9 Daily driver now for 3-4 years.
They are also on craigslist for 100 bucks or less all day long.


Great advice. The main reason I chose the Eddy 600 was familiarity and ease of setup. The only reason I am going new is essentially everything under the hood is brand new. I really hate to top off a brand new engine with a used carb. Looks will matter somewhat on this car. It is not a frame off restoration, but the body is perfect with brand new paint. It has new interior and a new top. It will be taken to some car shows, even if they are just the amateur pop your hood type shows.
