I was browsing the pages of Summit website checking out carburetors and I saw Summit branded carburetors. Is this a new thing? It has been a few years since I was looking for aftermarket speed parts, but I do not remember Summit being in the carb game.
That said, anybody have any opinions on them? The one I was looking at was a 600cfm, Square Bore, Electric Choke, Vacuum Secondary, dual fuel inlet - Summit SUM-M08600VS Any thoughts would be appreciated as I will be starting a restore project on a 67 c-10 and a 78 K-30 this winter. Thanks! Last edited by N2TRUX; 12-02-2009 at 08:45 AM. Reason: Removed the thumbs down icon - did not mean for it to be there. |

Re: Summit Carbs
I think they're based on a Holley. Vegaschevy has one. Might PM him.
I was looking at them and got this instead: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-9906/

Re: Summit Carbs
A lot of the summit "brand" stuff is name brand stuff in a plain box. Don't know about the carbs myself, but someone got a "summit" fuel pump and it had edelbrock cast into it.

Re: Summit Carbs
I bought one and am very happy with it. I got it in a kit with their intake and all needed gaskets etc. it also came with a new air cleaner and mounting plates.
you can see it in my build thread here. Everything bolted right on and it runs pretty good. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=358087 |

Re: Summit Carbs
I found this article (and a slide show too) on Summit's website about their carbs. Click here

Re: Summit Carbs
Friend of mine has one on his '62 Impala. Just a generic Holley double pumper is all it is...

Re: Summit Carbs
They look like those Holley carbs that were "new" about 10 years ago, where everything is in the base- so there are no bowls to remove or leak. I had the 750cfm version- ditched it for a standard double pumper and the engine seemed crisper...

Re: Summit Carbs
What is the thumbs down for?? They sound like they are a pretty decent carb according to other members.

Re: Summit Carbs
The Summit carbs are made by Holley and are based on the old Holley 4010 carb, which was discontinued several years ago. It was a very good design based on the Autolite 4300 carb, one of the best carbs ever built. The two piece design prevents leaks at the fuel bowls which other Holley carbs sometimes develop. I have not run these carbs but I had an Autolite carb which is of the same design and it was an awesome carb.
