RE: holley or 4100?

Gone a long time but I still check in occasionally for some interesting reading and inspiration to keep after my FE enthusiasm.

This 4100 vs. Holley, etc. thread is very interesting to me and I want to throw in a little personal experience to corroberate what's been presented very well.

On a basically stock 428CJ I ran an original CJ Holley 735. I ran consistent 13.70's with this engine in a 3,800 lb. '61 Starliner. I had a nice 4100 that came off of a '62 Mercury Colony Park wagon original 390. It's the 1.12 early style with something around 600 cfm. I thought it'd be fun to see how the old FoMoCo shoe box carb would do compared to the Holley. I gave the 4100 a carb kit; installed in on top of the C7AE PI intake that was on the CJ; tweaked the air/fuel adjustment; that was it. The 'liner ran 13.80 at the same mph, 101-102. Oh I also bumped the jetting up a little; can't remember - its been ten or eleven years ago. The early 4100s, '58-'64, use standard Holley jets.

This same 4100 has been so consistently reliable that I've loaned it to freinds having carb problems needing a temporary fix to just get their FE powered ride on the street. It currently is bolted to my new 427 all set to go for initial fire and break in. That's how much I trust it. It'll be there for the cars first trip to the strip. Next will be a Joe Bunetic built C3AE-B ('63 410-427).
Personally I have to see a time/mph slip to form a valid opinion.

I've also had good experiences with the Edelbrock carbs.

Thanks to the many who keep this forum one of the best to obtain valid FE information.

This thread, so far...
