My first /6 build is ...
ok that makes more sense my cam is only a comp cam 252.
I had a .030 over .020 off the block/.060 off the head [before big valve install] and had the stock valve size head ported, I ran a full length 6 into 1 w/3'' collector into 2 1/4 pipe out the back. I also had the iron 2 brl manifold and carter off my 318 dart.
All of that plus my MP .460 lift 268* dur cam and the carter was LEAN!!!! and would not rev beyond 3500 rpm, at the most.
I fiddled springs a lil and sand papered the rods [before I was cab savoy] and no dice still was not enough....so I ran a 'roach chaser' 2G off of a 307 and it worked but was pretty fat during cruise...to the point that the engine lugged hard beyond 2000 ft elevation and would not go faster than 50 mph.
When I got the money...I bought a 350 holley 2 brl and slapped it on, it ran GREAT and would rev up to redline and make great power.
If you want to mess with old carter [needs lighter springs] or your combo is milder than mine, the carter might be for you.
If you just want a very easy to tune, readily available part wise carb that is no headache.....Get a Holley.
