[Tigers] carburetor options

[deiland1]

It's been a long time since I had my Tiger, but my car had the original 260 with all the hipo kits from the time period. That included the hipo cam kit, duel point distributor and modified heads. For some reason the original owner left the original two bbl intake and carb. I upgraded to the F4B manifold and the original type 4 bbl carb. IIRC, the original 4 bbl was around 465 cfm. I did have to play with jet sizes and springs on the carb to get the full benefits out of the carb, but it was more than adequate for a street car. Scary fast and instant responsiveness after getting the jets and springs set up right.

I too have a stock 260.  Mine is topped with a vintage Edelbrock F4B manifold and a 500 cfm Edelbrock carb with manual choke.
Starts easy, runs smooth, no bogs, or flat spots or hesitation.

I need to purchase the intake manifold and a carburetor ( electric choke desirable, but not essential).  This will be a street machine, not for the track.  The more I look at catalogs, the more confused I get.
