I think the Langons setup is probably more efficient but Butt ugly!! Also I'm running the original 6 cyl because I want to be a little different. The Langon's are good for Some people but if everybody goes to them, I can see the modification becoming like the 350 Chevy crate motors in virtually every hot Rod that is built today. Viva the difference and lets keep the old ways alive along with the new technology.So what model carter carbs are you guys running? The Carter 4480-S was a stock replacement for the Rochester on '63-'67 Chevy trucks I understand. Any tips for tuning, linkage, air filters etc?

I'll probably be back to answer this question too...I gotta get a life....

open the mounting holes just a little but it seems to be a really nice set up. Im only running one so it may be a little small. but the cool thing is the jets are the same as the big 4bbl holley and so are the power valves. also these things are farely cheap. i got mine for a 58 ford 223. it was about
$90. so im sure someone will correct me but thats my story and im stickin to it. thanks Chris | | |

Boo
We don't need no stinking V-8s!!

#36033 03/03/2005 4:29 AM | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 112 | I just found out that the Carter W-1 (574s) have 2 11/16 bolt centers which is what the 216 intakes were set up for. My Edmunds is from a 216 and I'll machine it to accept the intake rings of the 235 to line it up with the head so the W-1 will work if I can find a pair. Anybody got a set?
