Carb questions
 

Now I have been looking a little into my carb situation and I want something that is quick off the line and gets good mileage with good power after 2500rpm. Now I guess I am asking for a little much but I was wondering if a Holley 2 barrel 500 and an aluminum intake manifold will do the trick. On my 1980 convertible I had an Edelbrock 650 on top of a 4.2L 255 and that thing tended to eat a little too much out of the pocket book. Any ideas that aren't too expensive would be of great help.

Moved to the Windsor Power forum.

you'll get better mileage with something like a 600 holley with vac. secondaries.. the primary side on a 4v will be smaller than on a 2v carb... you just gotta learn to keep your foot out of it ;-)
you could switch to a stiffer secondary spring too... keep 'em from opening to quick
