Tucson gets NOTHING BUT MOONSHINE-OH-LEEN, so, would anyone be surprised that a well rebuilt Stromberg WWC job has gone to HELL being used heavily in RECORD HOT URBAN TRAFFIC? I don't think this too surprising, though ONE more year would have made me happier.
So, should I try the Holley 2210 next, with the same aging carb guru? He did a fine job, especially considering his price, and I have high confidence in the man, BUT, WILL THIS BE WORTH THE TROUBLE?
I bought an old stock 4 bbl low deck manifold a couple months ago, anticipating a change in the fuel delivery system this Fall. Needs a good bead blasting, and some paint would be nice, but such trifles please me.
Just reading This and That Online, I gather that Edelbrock carbs do OK with stock iron intakes.
Since I SELDOM exceed 3000 rpm with that 383, ONLY ACCIDENTALLY AND VERY RARELY exceed 3500 rpm. AND NEVER let that old motor turn more than 4000 rpm, and THAT just to time it some months back, I CERTAINLY DON'T need a 750+ cfm carburetor, and in fact have considered as little as a 500 cfm AVS2, but think the new 650 cfm product likely will do veery nicely as a bolt-on solution, THAT WON'T SPEW PETROL ALL OVER THE EFFING INTAKE for, the Good Lord willing, many years to come.
Am I suffering heat prostration, or would a 650 cfm AVS2 Edelbrock be a good bolt-on solution for my leaky antique carburetor blues?
