I have both the 1.08 and 1.12 venturi , autolite 4100 carbs. Which one would work better on my 65 , 289 mild build 268h comp cam , C4 2.80:1 soon to be 3.25:1 rear end. The 289 has been built to pretty much match the cam. The car pulls very good at this time , with 1700 miles on it. What would be the advantage , and or , disadvantage to both of these carbs on my car. Ultimatley I am looking for your answers as to which one I should be using and why. What are the true CFM`s on these carbs , and , would a 600 be too much for my 289 set-up. I thank all of you in advance for your input into these questions , it is important to me. BTW , the intake manifold is a stock 65 cast iron model as are the exhaust manifolds, coming to a 2 1/2 inch system all the way back from the collectors. JOHN  ------------------

The 1.08 carb is 400-480 CFM. The 1.12's are 580-620 CFM. It all depends on the condition and wear of the casting. If you plan on keeping the restrictive exhaust manifolds then I would recomend a 1.08. ------------------

If I end up using the 1.12 will it be too much carb for the car ? JOHN ------------------

Not really. It would just perform better overall with headers. ------------------

Not allowed to have headers on my car , or else , I will lose my British columbia collector plates , and , my insurance will go up by about $900.00 to $1000.00 . Would it help to take out the dremel and play with the exhaust manifolds a little bit , or , am I better off to try and get a set of 351w manifolds , and , will the 351w manifolds clear my power steering ? Thanks for your help with this Alex. JONH ------------------

Then stay with the 1.08. The 351 manifolds are not worth the effort. FoMoCo had the option of installing both carbs on Mustangs in 1965-66 and there was a reason they chose the 1.08. They knew that the OEM manifolds sucked. HIPO's got the 1.12 mostly becuase or the better manifolds. Not just the cam. ------------------
