The Mercury 885 and 1901 carbs were the top of the heap for heavy cars & big trucks back in the day but the performance aspect was seldom considered since most folks wanted 2 or 3 Stromberg 97s with an aftermarket distributor. The carburetor and distributor are a system designed by Holley to work together. They are fine for mild street performance in stock form but not so much for serious competition.
