Gentlemen,
What are you guys doing right with this carb that I'm doing wrong?
I have that same Edelbrock 500 4 barrel on a mildly built 292, .060 over with stock pistons and a mild (hi-lift Elgin) cam. This is on a WELL heated Offy intake (water heated plus hot tube headers nearby) with a 1-inch spacer. And it's still a bit too much for it. Wonder why it's working better on a 228, which is 64 cubic inches smaller?
My next build will be similar to John Meredith's. I plan on using a set of .040 over LPG pistons I have and (possibly) the lump port head.
