Haven't bothered to adjust the kickdown since I'm still trying to dial in the carb, sorry sould have mentioned that. Most likely timing or something of that nature, but... According to Holley and the troubleshooting section for backfires, there is more than valvetrain issues that can cause...

Oh I know it has to tighten up, I haven't driven it and as I said I'm still trying to get the carb dialed in. Also for me it helps keep from pushing the rod back and forth constantly while doing adjustments. There are a lot of adjustments on this Holley you need to have the throttle wide open...

Yeah I should have said I took it apart after the original install to show what I did, I just took the pics last week. Back fire, OH YEAH. Super lean, it took a bit of adjusting to get it going. As it is I'm still tuning it to run just right. Ha, I'm no tuner and this is why all factors need to...

Okay…..:realcrazy: I completely forgot to post the finishing steps of the upgrade. So here we go Initially I asked about a recommended carb, and received lots of feed back and recommendations. It would seem the best carb to go with should be based on the final point of your upgrades, basically...

I had a pretty much the same issue. :BangHead: And on that problem I got a lot of good feed back from a lot of guys here. If anything the best advise I got for a good running carb was the original with a rebuild kit and a good cleaning. However it is always good to check your plugs because they...

They will for sure make power (it my me vey little) if they are clean flowing (no lip restriction) or they flow enhancing. Increasing the space or distance between the carb and runners allows for better atomization. But you can only go so far. As for an adapter or riser get flow enhancing...

I put mine together and after a few tries of the different linkages it is perfect. There is no changing of throttle cable position, end connection location/type, kickdown linkage (with an adjustment), or vacuum lines. However you do need to bend the fuel line a bit to get into place. The...

Oddly enough, I don't think it will be used again so I am going to try and sell it. What do you think a good condition carb like this would go for.

Actually I do have the adapter plate for square to spread, and I thought I mentioned that. So basically I can run any spread or square bore carb.

Sorry I have to make a correction.... I was obviously overloaded at the time. I meant to say I have a double pumper as well as that Holley 4160 600CFM VS. The double is an 850CFM Holley which was tried as a joke a while back and the boxed is the 4160.

Well I am going through a carb learning session currently for 4bbl's but I've been using a slightly newer model of that carter for a long time. I've use old original, remanufactured, rebuilt and smog version. My suggestion would be to clean the whole area with brake cleaner (careful of hoses)...

I'm not against having a Thermoquad, I asked around for a while locally but no one had an extra carb and online was just overpriced rebuilt or unknown quality used one. Actually I would like to have all three types just to be able to learn more and be able to put a better 2cents in for questions...

Got what?

After all the great suggestion from you guys. Cost was a contributing factor from the start all along with the size, type, and brand of carb. I am having to go in a bit different direct to maximize my savings for future parts now though, So... Currently my decision has landed on the 4160 with...

Because I now know for sure I will be adding a new torque converter to the mix... To avoid further confusion I think this portion is going to have to take a back seat for a bit until my head is cleared of the fuel and air issue and is cleared up with everyone else. Sorry I was thinking rpm in my...

All over the place? Yeah, the choices of carbs change? That's the point of finding what's best for the current situation. I mean there was the first choice of (Edlebrock) was based on people like yourself who used it and have had no trouble. Next there's the (Holley Demon), same deal and also a...

I don't want to put it that way... If could afford lots of parts or even a few at the same time I would. If an opportunity arrives to save some money I have to take it these days. But no question, if I was still going to be paying for a carb it would be the 600CFM Holley Demon Street Performer...

I get that, it's was just the casting number it's self matched just one 340 4bbl in the list

The Carb has a universal install kit, and has number different linkages to swap in, including the Plymouth arm for kickdown throttle cable. The theory would be the carb is able to move the fuel mixture either way, however I do think it may be a bit better due to VS's being smaller and the...

If it the pic with the casting number that's the water neck / thermostat no a vacuum port, sorry I should have taken a pick of the whole thing

Well this carb turned out to be a 600CFM with VS's, but I understand the differences better now between double pump and VS's, and why VS is recommended for mild street driving, and I see why double pump is best on throttle control for power I defiantly understand the physics, I just never really...

Again his is going to bring it to the owners Besides I'm not looking for a street/strip car just a good driver I am going to try it out tomorrow night. And I realized my intake isn't a square bore though, it's an oval from a 71' 340 that seems to have been only used for on year? odd?. But...

Have you had any issues with your 1850? If not I can't see any reason not to use this 4160 carb unless someone has had specific trouble. So really, is it going to come down to final tuning for equal performance from each different carb? And then swayed by differences in the ease of tuning...

That's even better for fuel economy and still get good power is it not?

Well, Well, Well :) I hope anyway I came across a double pump Holley carb, for next to nothing with part number 65-9834. And from what I can seem to find out, it's a 4160 600CFM with electric choke for universal and ford applications. Is this info correct? If so, is it a reasonable choice to...

Yellow, Well as for confused - not really, but I was a bit frustrated. It is very easy to see that really this is a matter of preference and suggestion from anyone which is based on what a person has upgraded to with the most success. I have had suggestions for the Demon carb locally off the...

Thank you, Very nice write up, And now I think I already have a direction on the rest of the parts combo. I may be new to carb upgrades, but using this explanation is very helpful to determine the end result. I still plan on a Edlebrock 1406 for the carb with the stock 340 intake. As for gears...

Bangs head on table.... Un-watching the thread... I need a beer, where's Ben drinkin.... What's the problem? Is it wrong to sum up? Your info was a big part of the sway for sure.... And sorry I did mean 1406 and not the 4106 thanks for pointing that out. And sorry I assumed that holly was the...

So it's safe to say the Edlebrock 4106 is the best overall carb based on tried and true methods by Mopar guys who have used this carb against other carbs (from stock to upgraded aftermarket). So anyone else out there who decides to check into this option don't go any farther. I'm new to these...
