How do you like that Summit carb. I have a friend that is considering getting one.

I know they are based on the old Holley 4010s which were based on a Autolite 4100. I wonder if they fixed the issues Holley had with them, I remember they weren't very popular.

[63futura289]

I love this carb!It start faster idles lower and smoother and is faster than the 575 demon it replaced.Its the only aftermarket carb that ive ever had that I didnt remove the electric choke because they usually work so poorly.This choke and fast idle work great.Barry

How far are you going with this ride?

[63futura289]

I drive this car everyday and I want to keep it a driver.I want to keep the ac,ps.pb.I dont really want to minitub it so Im not sure how much faster I can go.

Check my sig.  My Merc is my DD and only car.

If my Merc had forged internals then I could go with a much better head, more CR and a better custom billet camshaft.  I'm living and I'm learning.

It could still remain my DD and be much faster.

Sweet.  Also since I have posted here two years ago my Merc is much faster, too!


And -- it's still my DD!

 

[69 Merc]

So what are your next plans?     

[63futura289]

I've got a 347 on the stand right now.It'll be 10:3:1 rhs 180cc heads and a better cam.I'll also have to get a bigger carb..

[289nate]

Pretty quick for the combo.  The 347 should make a world of difference.
