Can you guys help me out here: On one hand I hear that a 750 is WWWWWWWAY overkill on a 302 (unless your are reving the engine at 11000 RPM  ), that unburned gazoline will run down the cylinders into the crankcase , that gas mileage will be really bad......(3310 Holley is the model I was recommended)The other side says that to get full potential of a fairly beefed up SB, the A/F curve of a 750 is better suited.
Help me out here !!!
FYI, Here is the set-up:
302 bored .030
600 CFM edelb (Sorry Alex !!)
Performer RPM 302 Intake
EDEL heads Alum with 2.02/1.60
MSD-6A + vaccum advance Mallowry
Cam 214/224 @ .050 & .472/.496 lift

One of them street avengers might be a better Holley for your needs! I think they are available in 570, 670, 770 and 870cfm

This will complicate things some:I've also got a 3310, it's a real good one  ... 4150 series 780. I also thought it'd be too much for my aluminum headed-solid cammed 333, until Dr. Denysenko set me straight It's similar to the OEM carb on Boss 302's  Pierre, I'm running a bit more cam and a few more cubic inches, but if European gasoline isn't too outrageously expensive for your budget, I'd say it's worth a shot. Vacuum secondaries only for a carb that big on a motor that small IMHO

I should however state that my motor is still on the stand, and not even in the car yet. I'm only offering what I've been recommended

The local "pro" also said vaccum secondary only !! Your reply did actually clear up things a bit, you are confirming some rumors that I heard around here.
But in a country with only a couple thousands stangs running, I've learned to take the local "pros" opinion with a grain of salt

Pierre, do you have a carb yet? If not and you are going to purchase one let us know. There are many more options available other than just the 1850(600) and 3310 (750)Holleys. ------------------

I presently run a 600 CFM EDEL (OK...... I know, it S***  ). As you probably seen in my posts, I am an average moron trying to optimize the tuning of my car by myself and have reach my limits !!
So I have decided to leave the job to a professional. One of them came highly recommended to me from all corners of the country.
Like you, he worships Holley and wants me to buy the 3310, he knows it best and tells me that he can definitely improve the perfs of my car. I was just very skeptical on the size he recommended.
Send me any input you have on the subject but I will probaly sticks with what he knows to make sure he does a good job Plus 3310 is cheaper than Avengers and I am over 10K$ of parts on this car & my wife is approaching her limits.The back seat is not that confortable to sleep in

Go with the 3310 then. It is a much better choice and performer than the 1850 for your combination Pierre since there are budget considerations. ------------------

I used a 3310 on my 302 for several years,worked great.I finally switched to a 650 DP but I'm also running a 4-speed and 4.11 gears.At the track the DP is a little quicker but the MPh is almost identical.I still throw the 3310 on from time to time as I actually prefer it for the street.

I have no clue whatsoever what kind of gas mileage I get.My speedo is unhooked because the 4.11s threw it way out of wack so I have no way of telling how far I've gone.I use my tach to tell my speed.I use the car to go to shows and as a weekend warrior so it never goes to far from home so I'm usually just putting in 10 or 20 bucks of sunoco gold whenever I need it.I do know though that the mileage isn't good but this is mainly due to the gearing I believe.Sorry I couldn't be more help but I just wasn't concerned with gas mileage when I built this car.

For what it's worth:
I replaced the stock 2V on my 351C with a 4V (3310-1 - a real 780) and Edelbrock 351-2V dual plane manifold.I haven't done the math yet, but the gas mileage doesn't seem to be any worse than the 2V. But the acceleration is another story! Tracy ------------------

hey Alex, just a thought, if you were running Pierre's motor, and not worried about cost of carb nor gas milage, what carb would you put on this motor?------------------

I hope Alex drops by here again, 'cos I'd love to know too. Money no object, what is the best carb in the world for a mildly built 302, weekend warrior, no drag strip stuff but a fair amount of stop light work? For me, ease of tuning would also be a consideration 'cos I am a bit dumb in this area

Toss up here. First choice would be a well done Autolite 1.12 4100, BUT....due to the high cost and difficult availability of tuning parts, I would use a Holley Avenger 670 for a "STREET" mild 289-302. ------------------

Thanks Alex! I have that Autolite, but it's not "well done" or even complete. Are you still doing overhauls on them for your customers? I'm coming to the US for two weeks in September. If I UPS it to you as soon as I arrive, could you turn it around for me?
