Reply to "Seeking Carburator Recommendations"

I used the Ford over the counter carbs back in the 1970s (and 1980s when I could find them) and believe me, the list 3310 is not in their league. I wouldn't let a friend buy one. The Holley list 3310 is notoriously poorly jetted out of the box, and has been that was for 4 decades. Doug hinted at that. It can be tuned to operate well by somebody with the skills to tune it, but don't expect to bolt it on your motor and be done. It is a 4160 style carb lacking the provision for replaceable jets on the secondaries, has a manual choke, non-adjustable air bleeds, etc.

Now, if you want a 750/780 cfm vacuum secondary carb investigate these 3:

The Demon Carburetors #1402020VE 750 cfm vacuum secondary Speed Demon. It is street tuned out of the box, it has annular boosters, electric choke, replaceable air bleeds, etc. That is a good carburetor.

Quick Fuel Technology #SS-780-VS is a 780 cfm SS Series (street) vac. secondary carb with electric choke; it is very similar to the 750 Speed Demon, lacking only the annular boosters. The Quick Fuel carb is much closer to what the Ford factory Holley carbs were like.

Finally, for the most bang for your buck the Summit Racing #M08750VS 750 cfm vac. secondary carb with electric choke is a low buck bargain that even has annular boosters, it will walk all over the 3310 out of the box.
