Hey everyone,
I am new to this site and I am the proud owner of a 1971 Nova and I need a carb. It originally had a straight six and a powerglide. I ripped that juck out and put a 350 with Dart pro one heads (2.02/1.60 200cc intake runners), .488/.510 cam, and 1.6 roller rockers that bumped the lift up to .520/.544. I also installed a rpm air gap, running msd 6al (HEI) with super cunductors, hedders and all the other essentialls. My compression is around 10:1. I need a good carb I am pretty sure I want to run a 650cfm but I am not sure what brand. I have a holley 650 double pumper that I rebuilt. I installed the correct power valve for my application also and it still runs so rich. It makes my eyes water when it is in my garage. I had an edelbrock performer 600 on before and it ran like a champ. Any advice?? I am in Iraq right now and I am trying to get everything set up before I get back so I can spend a couple days installing everything. Sorry about the info but I just want to give you guys as much info as possible. I want to make my car more of a touring/ strip car I drive it everyday and I could care less how expensive gas is I love my car and lifes to short to care. I keep exxon in business!!!
Thanks,
