When looking for another Holley, think this way. Look for a Holley that was built for a production car that has similar characteristics to yours.

The 3310 comes to mind. Versions of that carb were on the stock Boss 302 and the Z28 Camaro.

Out of the box it will have a much cleaner idle than a 4779, which is a 750dp Holley carb.

That carb is heavier at idle than the Webers are and will smart your eyes.

The issue with it is that it is actually the idle air bleeds that are too small and need to be enlarged to lean out the idle.

That's best left to an expert but you can save a lot of time by going to the 3310.

Expect about 12mpg though with it.

Best out of the box street cruising carb would be a plain ole' 1850. Bolt it on and go.

It's good for 6,000 rpm plus on a stock Cleveland.

Most people put way too big of a carb on to begin with. Sometimes even the factory.
