Thanks for the content. I’m trying to find better easier carb to rebuild and tune than the OEM autolite 4300 that came on my 72 429 Ford; probably a complimentary intake manifold also. Keeping it stock would be nice but so far the old 4300 isn’t really a good carb worth messing with. My 2cents.
I have a 350 engine with vortec heads and just a standard jegs performer intake. I have a 600cfm edelbrock carb but it’s causing me TONS of annoying issues. I want to buy a new carburetor but the guy at holley said 600 was too big for my application and recommended a 450 cfm carb. You’re saying 600 for a 350 is about perfect… what should I get? I don’t race this car but I want it tho throw you in the seat like it does now when you show someone up on interstate. However I don’t want too big of a carb like holley says I have now
@@danhammer2690 - lol: you are asking me? I suggest you immediately send me your Holly for an extended evaluation…. I have a spare lawnmower carburetor laying around that is guaranteed not to bog off the line… (sorta). 😎🤓
"Having too high of a CFM rating for the project the vehicle will run lean. Too low and the car will be running to rich." I dont think this is accurate. You adjust the amount of fuel to match the air so you arent lean or rich. too big you end up with a poor signal and as you stated hurts your throttle response.

Electric motor ,gas engine .Just buy the H.P. book on Holley carbs. Money well spent. I bought mine in 1971.
I have a Holly 1100 on my lawn mower…
It’s good to 125,000 rpm
and it will shoot grass clippings for 30 yards!
Lol! Too funny. I have to ask though, how does that apply to large throttle bodies fuel injection setups.

Regardless of rating, you will only use the cfm the engine pulls.

That's an old, outdated, disproven equation for calculating CFM needed.
