Have seen a number of questions on this B.B. and others concerning less than perfect carburetion, when often the problem was carburetor selection. The following is a listing of what Carter recommended for 'high performance street' use on various Pontiac engines:

326 - 9625
350 - 9800
389 - 9625
400 - 9800
421 - 9625
428 - 9800
455 - 9800

9625 is a 625 CFM electric choke square bore carburetor, that has since been superceded by 9635 (same carburetor with EGR port, which can be plugged).

9800 is a 800 CFM electric choke spread bore carburetor with secondary airvalve similiar to the Q-Jet.

Please note these are listed for high performance street use (Carter was assuming modifications such as cam, headers, etc.)

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air.
