So Here's my question, i think this is the right place to post.
I recently rebuilt my motor and did everything but the carb. My car runs rich at idle, and when i go to punch the throttle it hesitates (shooter/squirter?) before it takes off. the car make loads of horsepower above 3k RPM. Here is my current setup:
396/375 bored .90 over
Comp Cams Xtreme energy roller tappet Duration 274/280 lift .639/.646
Holley 750 Double Pumper
11:1 Domed Total Seal
Weind Stealth Dual Plane intake
Square Port L-78 Hi-Performance 1968 Heads
Solid Lift, Roller everything
mechanical advance MSD PRO billet dist
This car make LOADS OF POWER above 3k RPM (square port heads). The timing i believe is good, i would have to re-check the car to tell you what it is. the stock 396/375 i believe had an 825 or 850 cfm carb on it. i want a larger one with more fuel, more airflow.
Going down the road sometimes at about 2-3k RPM the car just loads up with fuel and floods the engine and dies.
Also, the car doesn't run good when its hot outside, a noticeable difference when its cool outside.
Can you guys suggest a good carb and its size? do you guys have a choke?
