Anyone running a summit carb?
anyone running a summit brand carburator? Impressions?
I've been looking at a http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-M08750VS/ as a replacement for my worn out caddilac q-jet (along with an entirely new top end.).
anyone have any input?

i borrowed one to use until my speed demon came in.
it was taken off of a 350 and put on my 454. a little bogging but otherwise ran great. i am sure it was because of the differences in the engines.
to make adjustments to the carb you have to take the entire top of the carb off like an edelbrock.
it had a front and back power valve. overall during the 3 weeks i was running it i decided it wasnt a bad carb. if i hadnt of already bought the speed demon i probably would have gotten one myself
of course its a square bore vs your qjets spread bore

I have the same combo (summit/2101) and with my big block hood could only use a mini air cleaner that was no taller than 2" over-all so you will probably need a drop base if you want a larger one. I have since dumped my stock BB hood and now use a 4" tall 14" air cleaner..
