fyerman,
Oh OK, I didn't know you still needed one.
Well since nobody else has bit:
* I only have one small BC carb, was kinda hoarding it but realistically not likely I will ever use it.
* If you need it see how $30 sounds plus flat rate ship to you in a medium box, we can PM or Email the rest
* Here is its history:
Got the carb in a box of stuff in a 64 Nova 283, obviously the wrong vehicle. Sat for years til I did the Carb/Intake Shootout a couple years ago, I compared all the 1bbl vs 4bbl carbs I had.
I cleaned the Little BC as best I could, can Email photos, and put a kit in it and a different iron base as the original was frozen. It came with
Jet 42 PVCR .027
I then ran some 1/8 mile shootouts as follows.
This was in a ~2900 lb Nova, stock 250 Powerglide 3.08 (no traction issues for sure)
Jet.PVCR 1/8-mph
Jet 42 PVCR.027
12.311-55.69 as rebuilt.
Jet 52 PVCR.027
12.162-55.12 a lot better on the launch
Jet 58 PVCR.027
12.765-52.31 too rich, ran and drove like a soggy wet dog
Jet 42 PVCR.036 drilled out
12.064-56.42 best of the bunch for this carb
Jet 42 PVCR.036, 1 of 2 top idle air bleeds epoxied shut
12.131-56.04 thought this might help but it really didn't
For comparison here is a typical "mid-size" BV carb, the 1-11/32 venturi that came in most 194 & 230 cars:
11.496-60.69
That's over 3 carlengths faster just in the 1/8 mile and over 4mph. This is why I was not impressed with the Little BC. One of them is just too small I guess even on a stock 250.
That said, it did idle and drive ok, it was just slow, kinda like blasting down the 1/8 mile with your foot only 1/2 way down.
See what you think or give me a PM
