Carburetor Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lwb66step · 06-09-2011, 11:11 AM

HELP!! My carb took a crap on me this AM, I found this Holley on CL here:http://pensacola.craigslist.org/pts/2428824683.html

Will this carb fit my 327 with a manual trans? The ad says it came of a 427, but I guess it really depends on the intake manifold right? I have an edelbrock performer intake, can someone please answer if this will fit or at least tell me what to look for to see if it will fit? Thanks!

Do you know what CFM it is? You should be between a 500-600 cfm range.

He said it was a 600 or 650, so it is the right cfm but how can i tell if it will bolt up to my intake manifold?

This is just me....
I would never buy a use carburetor unless it was for nostalgia or trying to keep the truck original as possible.

Sounds good! A Edelbrock Performer 600-cfm Carb or a Holley 600 cfm 4-bbl Carburetor would be good for that 327.

Yes I agree! I was planning on a 600, middle of the road between a 500 for cruising and a 700 for the track. i figured a 600 cfm would give me a good balance between the 2. I got a quote for an edelbrock for 289.00 with a warranty, anyone know where to find one cheaper?

Check with Autozone, Advance, and O'Rieleys first. Then Jegs and Summit. O'Rieleys will match thier competators.
