Pokey Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I prefer Holleys too. I had a 750 double pumper on my old truck..so easy to tune. Edlebrocks have those damn metering rods and other crap....confuses me. But they are better suited for street only daily driving. For a stock 305, I believe a 750 of any kind would be a lil too big. Like I said, try to find a 650, it should work better. It's a small, stock motor, you shouldn't need something as big as a 750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str86diesel Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hey guys, sorry for the late response. We were a little under the weather here :cold: and internet connectivity was really flakey. Ok, so couple of questions. 1) So was your idle messed up before the purchase of the new carb? (I believe the answere is yes, and was why you purchased a new carb). 2) With the old carb on, what was happening, please describe in general. 3) If you were having the problem with the old carb, as the problem does sound like fuel delivery, have you checked your fuel filter?

Pokey Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well he said that he was having fuel come out the exhaust some. So we thought it was running rich and the fuel wasn't gettin burned up. I was thinking that the carb he has on there now is to big. But he never gave me the numbers on it, so I couldn't look it up to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 What I'm guessing though is that if he had the same problem with the stock carb, before the switch, then going to a new carb might not be the solution. I need to konw what the symptoms were both pre and post carb swap, to narrow the issue down.

I need to konw what the symptoms were both pre and post carb swap, to narrow the issue down. First statement...true, and adding the new carb may have just made it worse. That's why I need the carb numbers to figure that part out. Second statement...agreed 100%. Anything you can tell us about the way it acted before and after the new carb.
