Okay starting to look into replacing my Carb, Right now I have a 350/350 with a Holly 550 on the car. The Holly is for another project but it was borrowed when the original Carb was not working that one is a 750 a little large for my 350 in my opinion.

Looking for recommendations, The car is a driver the engine is not original.

Thanks.

Jack.

Well, since you never phrased a question, I would recommend you paint your car the original color.

If the question is on the carburetor, a 750cfm is not too big for a 350/350. The Rochester that was on the car when it came from the factory was rated at 750cfm.

if you have the original bogchester quadrasuck get it rebuilt by ruggles murphy or lars if he will or if you are handy rebuild it and then have the best of all worlds with the closest things to FI...if you just have a 750 holley it will work too after dialing it in....
