Re: which carb to use on 6cyl

I ran a 4 barrel, vacuum secondary, electric choke Holley 390 cfm carburator on an Offy 4 bbl intake on my 194ci L6. I routinely got 18 mpg with a lot more power available if I got into the secondaries - it would be even more responsive on a 250ci L6. I'm not sure if this is something that even factors into your selection, but I found the 4 bbl carb was a lot more efficient than the single and 2 bbl carbs that I had tried before. If you're interested my combo is for sale.
