Default Re: Flathead Carb

"Just checked the Holley website and the have one available for $299.99. I don't think you could touch a rebuildable WCFB core for that."




Rebuildable WCFB cores are not that expensive. I have bought them in the past and never paid more than $50, unless your talking some originals from a factory Chevy dual quad set up. $299 is close to a well rebuilt one.


Also, a refurbished 390 CFM one would be good, or 450 CFM one will work too. They are vacuum secondary and the rear barrels open based on how
much air is going through the carb. They will never open all the way unless your spinning 7000 RPM, and at that point you would need the extra air.
