Guys,

Money is not an issue. If I thought spending $700 on a new Quick Fuel was the best solution, I would do it.

The original engine builder, who is a top notch builder, thought the 750 was correct.

I specificlly asked Promax which way he would go - forget the money. He said he would slightly lean toward the 750 double pumper assembled from his parts. So it would have similar parts to a Quickfuel, but hand assembled by him for the application. Given that the 750 vac secondary was in my hands he thought for minimal effort it would run very close to the double pumper. He had strong opinions against 850s for a street car.

Promax is a Quickfuel dealer.

For a situation like this, it is a benefit to have the dealer local.

Brent,

Is it possible for you to "tune" a carb to run like the 351C you mentioned, without the engine? If you have confidence you could do that well over the phone and ship me a great running carb, I am interested. Let me know your thoughts and I can call for the sales pitch. Although it is probably not practical for me to come visit your shop.

What steps or logic would you follow to spec the carb and then how much tuning and what type would be left for me?

John
