Yes you're right. I was not trying to tell you your rpm range. just throwing out some information. closer to 4000-4500 rpms to start making more power might be more accurate for the bigger carb to make a difference.
ok will change my opinion somewhat. on manual steering for me I do not want to go crazy on positive caster for steering effort so 1/2 to 1 degree positive caster and no more than a 1/4 degree negative camber I could live with. on my Newport I will try the same camber but more caster at about 2...
A 383 will wind on out to 5500 no problem at all. Mine with factory hp cam in my last car seemed to go to more like 5700 before it was done. I was running a 4 speed and 3.23s in that car. Yours should pull up there plenty quick with the 3.91.
Do you have headers or manifolds?
I would leave it as is. It is the character that you have created with the car after all these years. There is already enough stock looking restos running around. Different is better.
I drug mh 70 R.R. out of the field and drive it as is. Unrestored and ratty.
They do a weight loss bet here at work every year as a new year resolution. It is $100.00 per person, winner gets the pot. Usually, it is over a thousand up to a couple thousand to the winner. They do weekly weigh ins. It goes by total percentage after a certain amount of time. Like 4 months...
4500rpms is kissing the red line so as a non-race driver why would I opt for a carb with features that don't even come into play until there? Honest question. Seems pointless for my driving needs, no?
Sounds like bad shot placement and or the wrong bullet choice. My boy has hunted with a 260. Rem. The gun that Hornady
copied the CM after, for years and have never lost a deer. I’ve always stressed to him when using ballistic tips always aim for the vitals. Only take shoulder shots with fully...
running 2 800 avs2 on both 440 engines. 1 on a RT and 1 on a Newport. they are a lot better than the 750 AVS for low end power and throttle responses. the 800 cfm will start making more power over the 650 cfm after about 4500 rpms. you need to know what rpm range you like to run.
Not super picky. All I want right now is my car back together, running, and not leaking any fluids. What I understand is the AVS2 is a less complicated and very reliable carb that will function well with my build. Basically a Goldilocks option. It is also priced lower than the Holley options. I...
have everything but the intake runner and exhaust. running a rpm performer intake and stock HP exhaust manifolds. rebuilt engine so valve springs and ring seal are good. 168-172 cranking compression in all cylinders.
@Racer X Try rechromers. I bought one from Bumper Boyz years ago, but I looked at 6 before I found one that was in great shape. Unwrap it before choosing one. The Bumper Boyz | Los Angeles CA
The repop of the Thermoquad is the Holley Street Demon 625/750. Awesome carbs.
The 650 AVS2 has smaller primaries than the 800 and will give you a snappier response down low.
(If you want that with that gearing?)
