carb suggestions

[71scamp78]

Needing a new carb for my dart. It's a 72 with a 360 10 to 1 compression cast iron heads with 2.02 1.6 valves. Has air gap intake 3.55 gears auto trans . Car will be raced on weekends and driven a lot on the street. I may upgrade to a set of edelbrock heads if money allows. Car runs pretty damn stout but I got engine pulled to refresh over the winter. What size, what brand and should I do vacuum or mechanical secondaries

I'm running a 600 vac sec on a 9.5 340 and it seems to do good but I just got it up and running a week ago. I think the 600 is at it's peak useage for my car but a 650 or 670 would be a better choice when your going to be doing upgrades from where we are.

I do dig my Quick-fuel 750 vacuum sec, mainly for tune-ability with screw-in bleeds n' feeds everywhere BUT like any Holley, you DO need to learn how to tune it within an inch of it's life. Starting with a wide-band O2 gauge.

Buy used 750 dp on flakeslist and send it to pc carbs in ontario ca he will recalibrate it for 260 bux and it will idle and be able to make passes on a stone cold motor

About sums it up, and has been that way for a long time.

Holley = fast
Edelbrock = set it and forget it.

Holley 3310 would be a reasonable choice.

 

[stroked340]

Quickfuel 850...

Holley 750 DP, throw a pro form main body on it with replaceable air bleeds if you feel they are needed.

At least a 750, Holley preferred.

You can pick up a 750/780 Holley at most swap meets for under $100, kit it and luv it..

 

[jdsduster]

you should have kept that holley 750 i sold you,it was a good piece

 

[nm9stheham]

For racing, the 750 mech will be good but the fuel economy on the street will suffer. If street driven a lot, I would be using a 650 or 670, vacuum secondaries. All Holley's for me.

No reason you can't have one or each use....

A 750-850 DP could easily be modified to work in that application and have done many w/great results.......
