Engine issues carb leaking into engine

[fasjac]

Mopar rated the two sizes of T.Q.'s at 750 and 800. Carter rated them (marketed as Competition Series) at 850 and 1000. While 340's and most 400's used the 'smaller', most 360's and HP 440's used the larger. Excellent carbs but whole new learning curve to make them run right. My 2-cents.

Agreed, when they are right it’s as cool as it gets. I always tell the story about my 68 roadrunner with a t-quad ( don’t know what it came off of) 15 years old I thought it ran great, really stock 383 but did have 4.30 gears and transgo manual valve body ( I was told) as I had to shift the 727 manually. When the accelerator cable broke, and I replaced it, I realized I had only been running on the primaries ( and out running everything in town) then the big back secondaries opened up! Wow! it was a different ride for sure. Big fun. Love those carbs.

Cool! You’ve never told me about the roadrunner.

Oh man, what fun that car was.
