Re: [BaadAssGremlins] carb suggestions

I really like the Holley 750 cfm I put on my 401 but have not been to the strip yet. I rebuilt my 800 dp just in case.Is all out power and et most important or is ease of operation on the street? AFBs are hard to beat for driving on street but down on power from a holley. I even ran a Rochester Q-jet on my Gremlin with no loss of ET over a DP holley but great throttle response! Many ways to go and all will work. Enjoy Rick

Okay, I realize this may bring up alot of different opinions, but what I have always liked about this group is that any suggestions/ opinions I have gotten have been based on experience. Looking for suggestions for a carburetor for my 77 Hornet. 360 c.i.d., Comp cams magnum street/strip cam/lifter set and Edelbrock Torker intake. Have spent several years piecing this together. Chief use will be summer cruising and occaisional strip outings. Had nothing but headaches getting and keeping my Holley carb adjusted on 65 mustang "back in the day" and have always heard that edelbrock carbs are easier to adjust and will run with minimal adjustment "right out of the box". Problem is, as always, budget.... Summit racing sells an 800 cfm street/strip carb that sells new for what I would pay for a refurbished Edelbrock Thunder carb. Any thoughts? How about you, Doc, if anyone knows Hornets, its you!
