Question about old Carter AFB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

75-K5 · 03-24-2004, 03:57 AM

I have an Edelbrock 550 on my c10 right now. It runs REALLLLLY rich, especially in the right bank. Since it is identical to a Carter AFB, my old neighbor thinks I should just put one of those on there. He has one that has only about 100 hours on a boat on it that he's willing to give me. I am a little skeptical about it because I've heard a few bad things about these carbs. What do you think I should do? He says it's a 400 cfm. That just doesn't seem like enough for even a stock 350, but he uses one on his 366 big block and it seems to run well. Any suggestions?
