[Show about a simple ford 2 barrel carb like it should have had from the factory.... simple, almost always trouble free, and if u have any salvage/junk yards with fords they are EVERYWHERE....not to mention mileage....it will be a bolt on to the stock intake and everything...not to mention a kick-down linkage hook-up...for that c-6


did i forget to mention anything else??? lol

With a bone stock 302 I would use nothing more than a 500cfm carb. One of the biggest problems I've seen in the past with people building an engine is over carb'n it. HotRod Preacher has it right...I would put a stock 2 barrell on it and go.

4412 holley is 500 cfm!!

 

[440Clark]

I really think your first move should be checking the ignition timing. If you allready own a timing light or can borrow one or just drive around advancing the timing until you here spark knock and then back off till it goes away it's even free. Just so you can put that variable behind.

Now will someone please look at my tunnel ram!

 

[billy]

there are apparently 1000's of variables.
so i am going to use the holley fast kit and start from there.
(besides the vacuum tests,fuel level check i have already done)

Yup...that's why I say nothing more than a 500 cfm.

Have you double checked the timing?
Check for vacuum leaks?
To me it sounds like you're problem is in the accelerator pump!!

Didn't they have problems with these type of plates under the Ford carbs getting holes in them?

 

[sgtpontiac]

If my memory serves me they did....

That plate was for an egr valve and they burned thru.....might want to check that or replace it....maybe source of Vacuum leak....???[S

 

[rainman]

I personally haven't seen that problem, but I always got rid of them as fast as I could!! Get one of the aluminum ones!! Easy to find!!

Thought I remembered that from Dad, He was a Ford man and had one on a 70 ? Bronco that had burned through
