    1059885 I have used the motorcraft carbs before..work pretty good if they are set up right.. but the best choice would most likely be the weber carb...VERY tunable...be sure to use a fuel pressure regulator...webers dont like a whole lot of fuel pressure...3-3.5# Dawg[addsig]

    Weber carb flooding - Need tips on adjustments

    1060966 I was advised when i got mine to be sure to install a fuel pressure regulator...appearantly the float design can't cope well with fuel pressure much over 3.5 psi. I used to run a dual-jet rochester, but liked the idea of a progressive carb better. I left the bypass line hooked to the...
