Any idea on what size Holley carb and jet sizes to run on a 73 455 firebird for street use.

Holley recommends List #0-80450 600cfm Square flange and List # 0-6910 800cfm Spread bore flange, for 1973 Pontiac 455.
I recommend restoring the original Q-jet if it´s availible.
Hope this helps some.........Kent

I'd run the 750 first. Baseline jetting can be obtained from Holley's web site. Make sure power valve is stock and float levels are correct. This will give you a starting point for reference.
