Would this be a good replacement for a OE 72 Carter 6138s 340 standard trans equipped TQ . engine has been rebuilt producing an estimated 450-500 HP. I want a good performing fair weather street drive car carb , thanks Ed.
Ed, this carb has one less ring on the primary booster. There will be a reduction on the signal and velocity past and through the booster. These carbs are known to not have the excellent throttle response and ease of tune of the OE TQ’s. This carb also has a manual choke. So you need a choke cable. There cheap.
There is someone here selling your exact carb you mention FWIW.
Im not trying to disease you but inform you and I hope the seller understands this because I’m not trying to sabotage his sale. This is indeed an excellent carb for many applications. And it looks danm good to!
