What size carb should I put on my truck?

Question:
I've got a 350 engine. I'm wanting to put vortec heads with a .480 lift cam in it and a holley carb. I was thinking about a 750 cfm vacuum secondary carb, but I think that might be too big.

Answers:

Are there any good Garage door remotes?

it is to big,i own a repair shop,and right now I'm building a Chevy suburban,and a good edelbrock 650 will be plenty of gas for it,that's about the same set up i got ,and even a 600 will run it good,actually a 600 is the ideal set up for it,they wont run too rich at idle,a 650 will,i may switch and go down to a 600 because they do run a lot smoother with them that an 650,id run an edelbrock on it ,a Holley is a good carb but they like to flood out a lot,edelbrock usually give real good performance,good luck with it,i hope this help,s.

750 is too big. (low velocity through the venturies)
I'd go with a 650.

Flat tire, hole at the base of the valve...?

I learned that you should come pretty close to matching the displacement to the carb size. For example, a Holley 390 cfm would be about right, maybe a bit small for full-on power, but you could probably go with a 485 or even a 600 if you need it. 750 sounds too big.

lucas oil additive?

Don't get any larger than a 600 CFM, first....Second, don't get a Holley. Holley carbs are junk, too much rubber. They used to be OK, but they strayed from the Weber design in the late 70's. Order an Edelbrock and put it on a cast iron intake as aluminum intakes like to crack on cast iron blocks. The only rubber part in a Weber is on the needle. The power valve is metallic and you never have problems with them. Good luck.

My 1995 Grand Marquis reset all of the gages to a different format~ what do I do?

The general rule is twice your cubic inches at 6000 RPM, if you're not going to be operating in that range a 600 or 650 will do just fine.
Vacuum secondaries work well with automatic transmissions, I prefer the Carter type carbs. but they are harder to tune out do to more scarce parts, tuning parts for Holley's are everywhere.
