what carb are you using - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

just want to see what types of carbs you are using with a 350 4x4

*dtlilly* · 02-07-2005, 03:04 AM

The factory 4bbl Q-Jet. An Edelbrock 1406 is a nice aftermarket carb most wheelers use.

71jimmy · 02-07-2005, 12:29 PM

Has anyone used the Holley Truck Avenger carb? Magazine reviews rate it very good for offroading etc. Would be interested to know how it works in real life.

Carter AFB... AKA Edelbrock 1406. Good carb, easy to work on for sure.

stingray72 · 02-07-2005, 01:34 PM

Edelbrock 1406 here also.

Same as Redz

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-07-2005, 06:25 PM

3310 HOLLEY CARB 750 CFM
HOLLEY DOMINATOR INTAKE

Madbomber88 · 02-07-2005, 07:42 PM

I'm using an edelbrock 750 CFM QJet #1401 with the stock engine on my 71 CST outfitted with hedman headers and an edelbrock performer intake. Performs great, but boy does it eat gas. The POS's installation of a 14 gallon gas tank doesn't make it any better. If I were to do it again, I'd go to a 600-650 CFM.

Holley ProJection 2d Fuel Injection for the Fox. Hope to go 750 CFM Dominator this summer: Computers and toughness don't go hand in hand.

bouncytruck · 02-08-2005, 12:46 AM

both mine have quadrajets. The '69 has a performer manifold.

teamharvey · 02-08-2005, 12:58 AM

1406 Edelbrock with a performer intake here.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-08-2005, 02:01 PM

I have a edelbrock on the blazer and a 600 holley on the 69.. Both carbs are easy to use and tune..

Big Bad 1972 Blazer · 02-08-2005, 07:49 PM

I've run a 650 Holley and a 670 Holley Truck Avenger on my SB....both ran great. The 670 TA did give me more consistent performance on really rough trails and on high angle manuevers. I was pretty much sold on it...to the point that I'm installing one on the BB that I'm swapping into my blazer.
