Re: Carburetor Choice



Well, I've always loved the sound when those BIG secondaries on a Thermoquad open wide!  Especially under an unsilenced air cleaner!

They can be tuned for good efficiency and great power, but it takes some doing.  I got lucky and found an old school T'quad lover in my hometown and I'm happy with mine!

Since my son is visiting from Phoenix, we put the newly-rebuilt Poly 318 with a four-barrel intake into my 64 Fury on Sunday.  Now, I need to make a choice on carburetors.  I have AFBs, AVS and Thermoquads (No Holleys - don't want any) available in my used stockpile, all of which need to be rebuilt.  I am thinking that a 550-650 cfm unit would be good, as Gary upgraded my Poly with a slightly hotter cam, and we took it .30 over.  I'm not looking at taking the old rag-top to the drags, but just want some good driving and "get-up" on the street.  Thoughts?
