Now given what is due to happen in Mid September I REALLY shouldnt have bought this.... but your only here once eh (and the wife was there when I bought them, so thats OK)
Anyway, bit of background on the events that led up to this. I originally purchased an Edelbrock Victor manifold for a Big Block Chevy - these come in various disguises, oval/rectangle port along with 2 different carb openings 1 'smallish' 1 MUCH bigger for Dominator carbs.
This came to me as a hardly used S/H manifold in the dominator pattern. I then decided that I couldnt really afford the £800 for a Dominator carb - bearing in mind these are all out race carbs and decided on an adapter so that I could fit my normal pattern carb onto the manifold.
Not going to go into the science behind it (im guessing most will have got bored and hit the back button by now....) but imagine a small orifice / venturi opening into a very large plenum = serious airflow decrease with a very good chance of fuel dropping out of suspension.
Anyway - popped up to the Pod this Saturday (Mopar Nats) and after talking to friends, walking around the pits.... noticed a Chevy parked up, with bits for sale
They only had THE carb I had been looking for in AGES and in the correct size for my engine - this is the 'baby' Holley Dominator of the group flowing around 750/800 Cubic Feet a Minute.....
The pics dont show the size very well, this manifold has long runners (and therefore sits high) and the carb is well over a foot long. Now to build the rest of the engine.....
