Welcome back Carb King!
I too am familiar with the inside of cardiac wards, great to hear that you are on the recovery side of the equation.
My basic reasoning tells me that smaller primaries may be beneficial to my situation. ( I’m back on piston engines now…). Some comments earlier in this thread made me think I was barking up the wrong tree. Carb Jon and others now lean back in the direction of QuadraJet.
The Quad does have much smaller primaries than my Edelbrock…
As to the question of why am I running a 600 cfm carb on my 283 , the answer is- it came with the truck. I did swap manifolds , as mentioned earlier.
That’s it for tonight.
Again- welcome back Carb King.
