I'm currently using a holley weber, works pretty well, just kind of small. I tried 2 Holley webers and what with a faulty fenton intake and the wonky throttle linkage, I'm now thinking one carb is probably more than enough for a stock cammed 235. Anybody have experience with a weber 38?

He likes to sell the carter weber 32/36 carb. I have a 235,in a car with two 32/36 progressive carbs on it.

Either one would be too small for a 261 (and a 302), especially before the second barrel kicks in.
A single barrel 36 or 38 might be too much for a 235 - what are the CFM ratings for those carbs?

I did have to try different jets than what came out of the box before I found a combination that worked for me. And best of all no leaky smelly Rochesters to deal with. | | |
