340 Carburetor Suggestion

[jauch]

Is an Edelbrock 750 to much for a basic (that i know of) 340? What would be a reliable size and brand?

[Chryco Psycho]

I would use a 700-750 on a 340 , my personal preference is the Proform or Holley 82751
the Eddey carb will work butis not nearly as adjustable

[jauch]

lets say your mopar butt was broke, and didn't want to spend more than 300 bucks for carb, great looking carbs though.

[Chryco Psycho]

well you get what you pay for , I would save my allowance until I can afford a good one rather than buy a cheap one & spend more when you are disappointed

What do you think about this one?

Sorry I was not around before the auction ended

[jauch]

Its ok, either way, good choice and value?

This should dispel the myth that a 750 is "too big" for a 340 and make your carb choice a real no-brainer.

 Great article. That progressive build sequence was how most of us did it back in the day. Usually it was a matter of "as money became available".

 I've been running a 650 DP for many years now but may consider a 750 after reading that.

I am not so much a fan of the Vacuum secondary carbs but yes it is a decent buy price wise on a decent carb

I run a 750 on my 340 and it likes it.  I need to tune on it some, but I've got it pretty close right now.
