how many adjustment screws and bolts are there? how hard is it to tune? i know i can install it with out a problem but tuning.

 

What kind of carb are you thinking about using? Computer controlled or non computer controlled? Need alittle more info.

 

non computer controlled

 

Any specific brand of carberator you are thinking of using? You will get many varied opnions on which brands but I personally like Holley. You would have 4 bolts to mount it to the intake. You will have your idle adjustment, depending if its a double pumper or not you will have either 2 or 4 air/fuel adjustment screws and 1 or 2 float adjustments. I think Holleys are very easy to tune but thats cause they are all I have ever used.

 

Why? What system is currently on the vehicle? What are you trying to accomplish? IMPO - The EFI systems are FAR SUPERIOR to ANY carb.

Converting from one fuel supply system is another can be more complicated than you may be aware of. There are several other systems that will be effected once you start going to non-cc parts (Tranny Lock-Up, Dizzy, Emissions, etc.). Make sure you are aware of ALL the potential problems/ramifications BEFORE you start. Prepare a relatively complete game-plan and set aside sufficient $$Cash$$ to complete the project.

Some folks around here have converted from another fuel intake system to carb only to find they would have been better off spending their money on another type of performance adder (Exhaust System Upgrade, Mild CamShaft).

Just my

Sincerely,
Kurt

 

seems like the best way to go. im putting a 383 in soon. i dont know anything about burning chip and dont realy want to get into it.

 

holley's are really nice carbs, they take a little bit to get used to to tune them. If you want a simple bolt on, and easy to tune. Get the Edelbrock Performer.
