Re: not mine 250 with a edelbrock manifold and 390 holley

Just read another thread of yours and it sounds like you have a 230 and yes a 600 cfm edelbrock or holley will be way to much on a stock motor. If you are staying stock then a jetted down 500 will be okey, I would go with a 350 or 500 cfm holley 2 barrel. That will give you plenty of air, let alone fuel! My 292 has a 600 edelbrock on it and that's pushing it. So a 230, 62 cubic inches less than a 292, is not going to need even close to as much. I would go with a 500 cfm holley 2 barrel, and an hei. You would probably be happier unless you went with the 390 holley. For yer info, after about a 100,000 miles holley carbs are prone to get a nasel leak.
