Hi everone,
I have a Carter Competition Series 500cfm, I last used it for breaking in a
Pontiac 455 I built in 1982. I really liked this carb, really had great
throttle responce. I kept it because I thought it would be perfect for a
215. It bolts right on the stock 4bbl manifold I have now. Is his carb too
big? When I figure out the cfm it comes out to 404 cfm at 6500 rpm, anyone
use a carb like this or size on there 215. Since we are talking about carbs
:)
