I was still riding bikes then
but dreaming of Driving!
Are you a telephone man? Do you recognize my avatar?
Most of my hot rodding experiences are with EFI, but I have done some carbed stuff as well. Tuned a 400 Tri-Power for my "Little Cousin" (6'5", 285#) and we got it running very nicely for him
Built a custom 4 barrel manifold for a 1980's 3.8l V6 Mustang
Swapped back and forth between a 350 CFM 2V Autolite carb and a Holley 600, is 10 HP worth 6 MPG???
No!!!
...and the best example, had a bad 2.2l Dodge Omni carb, Holley progressive 2 barrel, go bad on me. A new one was well over $400 so I adapted an old Pinto Carb to the Dodge
Better MPG, More HP, More Torque, better driveability, EVERYTHING!!! Holley 5220 (yuk) vs. Holley 5200
This is an example of the OEM arrangement not being exactly "optimized" for anything but COST and some brain-dead "engineer's" idea of who-knows-what...
I love the smiley line-up here, can't you tell?
