The old carb question
« on: July 02, 2016 - 01:33:26 PM »
Hey, so I'm finishing up my engine right now and it's time to decide what carb I should go with?!
My engine is a stock built 340 with stock intake and heads!
what would you guys recommend? Stock Carter AVS? Or something more modern?

He's working on a 1970 so it would be a square bore.

Anybody use those Eldelbrock carbs ?

 :iagree: as long as you want to use 50 year old technology
 newer carbs are much more tunable  , Proform & Quick fuel are awesome carbs , even EFI is now available for around $1200 or so

I don't wanna go the EFI route! But I was definitely thinking to get a new one!

I'm done with carbs. FITech is $995 and as easy as bolting on a new carb. If you must run a carb I would try a 650 AVS.
