bruno:
any issue with using this carb on a big block? engine is basically factory 325 hp, with mild rv cam. do not know cam specs. I do have orig. carb for this engine, but its going to get rebuilt eventually. I have this other carb, it needs a rebuild as well, but this one I can do. my question is if this will work as it is, or will I need to change jets, rods, etc? any other mods required please let me know. I do have cliffs book, but jstill reading it. car was originally hot air choke, but I don't mind using electric until I get original finished. this is just so I can drive car until then.

 Cannot find that carb number, at least on the Internet. I will have to check my manuals, but is that a CCC Qjet?

bruno:
sorry. apparently I have occasion dyslexia. it 17082224
has 70 promary jet, can't make out number on primary rods, but they measure .035" tips and .050" at biggest part of taper. haven't measured idle tubes or dcr yet. h hanger and DR secondary rods.

Cliff Ruggles:
It will work fine on that application with minor modifications.

When you get time, call the shop, we can supply the tuning and rebuild parts to get it up to par for what you are doing. 

If using the original intake, we also have some ideas on using the original factory steel shim and gaskets required, etc....Cliff

bruno:
