Carb guys, I need advice
 

I bought a 1993 coupe that has a carburated 306 in it. I bought it just to resale it to my girlfriends brother. I am under strict orders from her to detune the hell out of this car before I sale it to him.

It has Trick flow Twisted Wedge heads, A 750 Demon double pumper, Edelbrock performer RPM intake, Trickflow stage 2 cam, Headers, exhaust etc...

I am removing the Trickflow Heads and putting some freshly machined E7's on it with springs good enough for the Trickflow cam cause I really dont want to go through all the work involved in putting in a stock cam. I will just tell her carbed cars idle like that. :D

At this point I assume I will also have to remove the carb cause its too big. What carb would you guys reccomend for a daily driver and what jets would be a good starting point.

I am carb retarded I dont know if I need a small double pumper or a vacuum secondary carb or even a 2 barrel.

Thanks,

600 CFM vacuum secondaries, electric choke is what I'd throw on her. ;)

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

What brand would you use?

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

Holley.....I personally despise Edelbrock carbs.

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

And put a heavy (black) secondary spring in the Holley to make the secondaries more difficult to open. That should detune it some. And reset the timing to about 5 degrees before TDC.

Damn if you was closer i'd make you an offer on it. sounds like a nice lil runner there. auto or stick??

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

It has a practicly new T5 in it out of a 1995 mustang and a new centerforce clutch.

The only real negative is that is has a 4 banger rear end in it.

I am going to end up with.

*Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads and roller rockers
*Edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold
*750 Race Demon double pumper
*Trickflow stage 2 cam
*5 inch auto meter tach
*Pro 5.0 shifter

I paid 2000 bux for the car. I get to keep all of the above parts and I am re-selling it for 2400 bux.

Pretty sweet huh, :D

I am about to drop in my stroker motor. I will probably just bolt all this stuff up to my old 302 block and have a back-up engine.

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

Stay with Holley, or Demon. Although I've heard some complaints about Demons lately, figures cuz I just bought one. Darnnit!


And if the tranny is out of a '95 it may look like a T5, but I'm bettin it's a T45. ;)

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

Damn sweet!! what are you gonna replace those parts with when you sell to g/f brother?? thought you was gonna leave cam and intake on and just replace the heads and carb??

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

Nah, they switched to the T-45 with the 4.6L V-8 starting in 1996.

Re: Carb guys, I need advice
 

I was going to but I located a stock cam and intake manifold so I am keeping the good stuff.

What sux is carburators are more expensive than I thought they were. I may just jet down the Demon and leave it on there.
