Which Carb?

red82gt · 10-28-2002, 03:30 AM

I need to upgrade, the linkages on my old Carter are getting pretty loose and I think I've reached the performance limits of this carb. Lots of choices out there, which one should I go with? The rest of my mods are in my sig. It is a 5 speed and with me in it, it weighs 3250#s

If you vote "other" could you please tell me what you'd go with?

Go with the Holley 650 double pumper, You'll be happy!

holley 650 dp

Actually, I'd go with the rebuilt rochester 2 barrel.

UNLESS YOUR SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rochester 2barrell, eh? Perhaps a few strombergs or maybe I could make a custom manifold and 8 weber side drafts! Or maybe I should ditch the whole carb thing and build the first 5.0 mustang with a Hilborn mechanical fuel injection system...

I think I'll probably go with a 650 Holley DP or maybe even a 600 for better throttle response and a stronger signal.
I do like the way the Demons look though... and they seem to be strong performers.
