Reply to "New Carb recommendation"

Panterapatt, I installed the Summit 750 on my 80 F-250 with a 351W, some cam. I had bought that carb with the intention of trying it on this Pantera (hot 351W) but ended up going another route. I had to increase the jets a fair amount on the 750. The design is such that while that's easy enough, you would have to tweak the float levels each time you remove the top to change the jets. I still need to increase the secondaries a bit, but it's very close now. Some had said it's basically a plug-and-play carb, just not exactly my experience for whatever reason. I am also not a carb expert, but tuning it was a good learning experience for me. Those come with a DVD that helps.

I have also used the Edelbrock 600 on my first Pantera running a basically stock 71 4V closed chamber 351C. It ran very well (on an Edelbrock Performer 4V dual plane intake). Of course, you don't see the power of that build in street driving, but that's not the carb.
