  • Going Carbed

    Thinking off going carbed and selling all the efi stuff. Have a 306 with an f cam performer heads. 4.10 c4 with trans brake. Would you do a single plane intake or duel plane. What size carb would you put on it. Will be running a wet kit 150 shot.

            and a good fuel filter
            Don't worry about what you can't change.
            Do the best you can with what you have.
            Be honest, even if it hurts.

              If the car already has a C4 and 4.10's, you arent doing much daily driving with it as it is. Going carb isn't going to have any negative issues at all for what you plan on doing with it.

                              Port to match Vic Jr and a 650 cfm carb tuned for the setup is all you need. I'd lock out the distributor and run an ignition box with a retard on it for starting and nitrous activation.
