Default What carb??

I'm pretty sure i've had it with this holley 4160 (non adjustable float) , i can't get it to run right.


SO that said, road demon 625?? Suggestions?


Edelbrock intake, msd hei, headers pypes duals, electric fan. Stock 350 l-48 1975 car. Only changed the timing chain and gears. Stock cam. Not going to change anything else, i'll be getting a crate motor in a year.

Which carb can i get peak performance with, WITHOUT messing with it too much. Drop it on, set the idle, mixture and go.

HELP!

You can buy the Summit carbs for about $200 and in my opinion, that is a steal!! The summit carbs are designed, wet tested and also set up for a street/strip application and I think they are one of the best deals on the planet.. I had one and it ran as good as my new BG Mighty Demon 750dp..
