Nov/Dec 2008 issue, page 21 Tech Question.
The engine is a 1954 Chevy 6. So I can guess it's a 235 or 261? Okay so similar to my 250. The gent has 10.25 pistons, 3/4 cam, Mallory Dual pointy dizzy and a Clifford 4 barrel manifold with the Holley 390 on top.
Pat (Six Fiend) Smith says, "As far as the carb goes, this should be the perfect carb for 6 cyl" and is not. Actually guys are running a 600/650 carb with better results."....
While I am inclined to believe this is a street driven car, the results this writer may be asking about are more race oriented?
Still my question is, does this particular Holley 390cfm have a bad Rap or is it not flexible for the engine I am putting together..Mild Street.??
