Symptoms of wrong cam installation

All “950’s” are not created equal.
In other words...... there are several “sizes” of 950’s.
For off the shelf “950’s” the Venturi sizing can be 1.375, or 1.450, or 1.600.
All are called a “950”.

When discussing carbs these days, especially 950’s...... it’s usually best to be talking in terms of Venturi size and throttle bore diameter.

My 20 or so year old “built from scratch” using a genuine Holley HP950 body has the 1.375” Venturi, which is the same size as the typical 750 DP.

Good info. I know there were different sizes but never researched what they were. I did take a second to measure my custom made 1000 cfm APD alcohol carb that I bought earlier this year. Pretty sure it was made from a 950 so I will check and compare my numbers later today. Thanks.
