Now that my '65 GTO clone is actually running, I would like to help it run well. It currently has a just-rebuilt '70 400 block (.030 over), '65 #77 heads from a 421HO and a stock '70 GTO intake. The previous owner told me the motor had a "290 comp cam." Judging by the idle, it has plenty of cam. I am also running an HEI.
Now the problem: previous owner installed an aftermarket 750cfm Holley mounted on a 1" adapter. When I look down inside the carb, all I see is intake manifold, and i imagine this is why I am not running very well and the thing spits gas out the tailpipes by the quart. So I am thinking about purchasing a rebuilt Q-jet (or Edelbrock?) for this street/strip motor. Function is very important, numbers and originality is not. I was hoping someone could recommend a good carb and maybe even somewhere to buy it. Or maybe I should keep the Holley and bolt on a new intake? Any opinions on this idea? Thanks for the help.
