well guys, I bought a carb. I bought a core from a local carb rebuilder. All I know is that it's a 1850 with manual choke and vacum secondaries.  When i get around to reuilding it, what are some things I should keep an eye out for. I do know that all the exterior linkages and screws are there. from the exterior, it is a complete carb. what are some of the things you guys have done to your holleys that has worked well on the y-blocks? motor it's going on is stock.

He was trying to sell a 750 Edelbrock and the kits this year, Originally, a few years back, he had two 500's (?) on the car. then he went to the 750 (edelbrock) might have been two years ago, we could ask him!

for those of you who are running a holley 600 cfm, what jets are you running?

A 600 cfm is plenty big and can be made to work fairly easily.  It will probably have to be re-jetted of course but even a mild or stock cam will be happy with it, IMO.  I have an R-1850 Holley that is probably 40+ years old and it has worked well on a range of engines from 289 to 428 cu. in.s.  It's still one of the best carbs I own.

can i holley 600 cfm be made to work on a 292? I have a college classmate that has a holley 4bbl. thought it was a 600cfm and might get it for cheap. can it be made to work?

By the way Pegleg, I'm glad you got your fuel system worked out.

Check Charlies Columbus pictures for this past sept and the year before, it shows a Quick fuel on wallys engine  which would be 2010 and 2011. 2010 I ran him in the t-bird and the Quick fuel was on it then but I don't know when he put it on????

-Gary Burnette-

Gary, If he changed over to the Quick Fuel I missed it. Sorry. i was kinda busy trying to figure out my own fuel problems last year. turned out the fuel pump had unscrewed itself and was ready to fall off! That won't happen again. Wally and i talked in the pits and discussed Edelbrocks, but I never looked at this years combo. I know he ran a 750 Edelbrock last year, so high 12's.
