[Jersyboyy]

I know a speed shop near me that just recently closed down but I got one of the guys numbers and he can rebuild ANYTHING. He's super old school and his work is quality and cheap.

i been talking to some of my friends and i decided that i was going to buy a new carb remanufactured. I been looking at some edlebrock ones that run around the 250 dollar range so my next question what carb should i look into? i dunno much about carbs, also i was going to get a new intake manifold, what kinds of manifolds should i look into and stay away from?

Thanks in advance

if u want 1 of the best carbs money can buy i can set u up with an A.E.D. they work flawless! u can probably pick one up for around 450.00 which is a steal for the performance and reliability they provide. i myself have used over 6 of them for engine builds and have compared them to others and im extremely satisfied with this company. pm me for more details!

i dunno if i want to spend 450 on a AED carb, not saying there bad but i would like to stick to edelbrock, i found a carb and a manifold online and i was wondering if they would be good to purchase...
the carb is http://store.edelbrock.com/9913reconditionedperformerseriescarburetor750cfmel ectricchoke.aspx
and the manifold is http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQChevroletQQCamaroQQEdelbrockQQIntake_ManifoldQQ1 9671997QQE112104.html

let me know what u guys think, thanks

Any particular reason you want to keep an edelbrock carb?

eh my dad and my good friend that races used a lot of holly and edelbrock. And i know holly is pricey.... what would you suggest other than edelbrock? right now im willing to spend around 500$ for a manifold and carb

[Tru2Chevy]

I would grab a holly over an edelbrock in a performance application any day.

What engine and mods do you have?

- Justin

[Crayface]

its a 5.7L 350, and all it has on it now is flowmasters exhaust. i would buy holly but my money doesnt grow on trees.....unfortunatly

[Tru2Chevy]

Look for a used Holly 650 vac. secondary and a used dual plane intake.

I was able to buy a rebuilt (to my specs) Holly 750 double pumper from a member here for $250.

nice! i will keep looking around but the carb and manifold listed above, would they work?

I would keep to a 650 carb unless the motor is heavily modified. The 750 I got was for a mildly built 400" small block.

Not sure if the intake would work or not, depends on what year heads you have.

+1 steves is real good....

also try aed... or avanti carbs

you get what you pay for... you basically pay 1 doller per cfm for a great carb... but from what you sorta explained a nice out of the box holley should do fine...

CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute

It's a measure of how much air the carb allows into the engine.
