RE: What carb(s) should I use?
By Will - 10/11/2000 2:00:03 PM; IP 24.26.244.215
I've already checked the gas cap and all fuel lines. There aren't any leaks.

I totally forgot about the power valves. I bet that's the problem. The weird thing is that I don't smell gas if I floor it. (I smell rubber :-) ) I only smell gas at about 1/4 throttle.

I've got the progressive linkage, with box-stock Holley 600 cfm 1850's.

If I had a pile of money, I'd buy the 450's. I bought the 600's new, and I figured that the gt500 had 650's, so 600's should work fine. I still think that's the case, since they're vacuum secondaries.

Oh, and I have the Lunati #40510. Solid lifters, 237/247 @ .050, .559/.572 lift.

The gas mileage sucks! Bad! If I floor it, the needle moves about the width of the needle! The speedometer isn't hooked up yet, so I don't know exactly what mileage I'm getting.

It'll be a couple of days until I can check to vacuum/power valves. I'm moving. I'll post again once I check it out.
This thread, so far...
