Great performance for carbs and parts

Wow, this carb works great on my small block Chevy 350! Instant response to the gas pedal, the complete absence of jerks and decent gas mileage. Starts every time without having to press the accelerator. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Little things

A good investment in fuel economy and reliability

Factory carburetors and smog devices have caused problems with poor performance and terrible gas mileage. But this carburetor solves problems. I never expected high gas mileage, but realized an improvement of about 20%.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • repair

Replaced Summit brand

Bought to replace Summit brand, new carburetor out of the box and ran at full speed. Tech support told me to change a few things. The only things that need to be changed on the new carburetor are the idle and the fuel mixture. So ordered this one. The car starts well, idles and turns well

Pros
  • Good finish
Cons
  • Great price

Much Better - Fuel System

I've had an old Carter AFB for years and it worked fine, but I knew I needed a new one. It's a good carb, but not straight out of the box. After that I had to remove the IMS bolts and carburetor cleaning holes with an air hose. As I said, I haven't checked the float level yet, but it's working fine now. Not a bad carb, but I think I should have gone with the AVS 650.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Senior Citizen

Easy Install - Spares

Bought for my 78 F150 with 302 to replace a holley that never worked properly and was causing problem after problem. I had to wait for the automatic transmission mount but otherwise the installation took less than an hour. The included throttle ball stud fits my application that uses a rod instead of a cable. Direct fired but very high at idle turned out to plug the rear hole if you pull the booster vacuum somewhere else, oops. Once plugged in it worked great and I'm glad my truck is working…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • No Instructions

Marine application worked great

I ordered this for a marine application, I installed it on a Mercruiser 330 (Chevy 454ci). It came in place as pictured and as described. Removed the old Quadra Junk carburetor, installed an adapter plate, rerouted the fuel line and routed the connecting hardware. I didn't adjust anything at all, just screwed it in, cranked it a few times, and bled it a few times and my old 454 came alive after 3 years of inactivity. My boat weighs 5,000 pounds unloaded but with all my scuba gear it will go 47…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Update available

Great carb!: Replacement parts

Bought to replace an old Edelbrock Performer intake quad on an AMC 360. What a huge difference! Admittedly, the Quadrajet was old, full of holes and in dire need of a refurb, so it just didn't work properly no matter how I set it up. Edelbrock was very easy to install. The only thing that took a while was installing another bracket for the throttle cable. Still no throttle spring just right. I have yet to adjust the carburetor and it works great out of the box. My father told me not to fix…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Too long to wait

it was so easy. Took me about 90 from end to end.

I ordered this carburetor and it is easy to install. However, you need to consider (and possibly buy) a few extra things. I will come to these points at the end. The hardest part of this setup was routing the wire to the throttle. it was so easy. Took me about 90 minutes from end to end. You should read the manual in its entirety, but I highly recommend taking the time to watch the video on their website to see how easy it is (it comes with a DVD that you can also watch). The fuel intake is…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Annoyed
