Hi All, I have a v8 question.

which 4 barrel carb, Carter afb, Edelbrock performer, rodchester Quadrajet, out of the three which one do you run and why?

My application is for a 283 v8 with mild cam low compression heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just my experience with chevy v8s...

Get yourself a 600 Holley vaccum secondary. A double pumper will be overkill unless your cam is big. Maybe you could list your cam specs and comp ratio? Even so, you are in a LIGHT car (dont really need the extra squirters to get moving). You will have better throttle response with the vaccum secondary carb also. I say get the Holley just because..
a) they are dirt cheap and parts are EVERYWHERE
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) a 6 year old kid can rebuild one in about an hour
c) parts are DIRT CHEAP AND PLENTIFUL
d) a-c

The other carbs you mentioned can be really good carbs. But for simplicity, and reliability and to be able to tune the damn thing, the Holley wins hands down IMO.
