Dump the carb........You need no more than a 650dp Holley (#04777C), Moroso 1:1 secondary linkage kit, and some dyno tuning time.........I should know, I went through 6 carbs on my last 351W/385hp Ford crate engine before finding someone with a chassis dyno.............After two hours on the dyno with the new carb, it was running at peak performance and efficency............
