Are any of you guys using or had experience with the Proform Main Body # 67100C for Holley 650-750 DBL PUMPERS..

They sure talk em up good.. Are they worth the $$$ (about $100)..

Big D I had good experience with the one that I built. My Chevy buddy had even better luck with it. He liked it so much he paid me $300.00 for the carb.(I put it togeather with spare parts that I had). The 428 needed more air than the 750 would pass. I'm running a 830 now. You will have some fitting to do around the base plate especially if your plate has the vac power brake port. A little grinding and tweeking and they work great. They even supplied non-stick gaskets and 2 size larger jets.

don, i got one and i cant complain about it. i cant brag on it either. it works fine but i think the claims of more horsepower are a bunch of bullcrap. if you were running a terrible carb and switched to the proform, you would probably see a big gain. but if you already have a decent carb, you probably wont notice much if any difference. but heck for $100 it looks cool,(just take the made in tiawan sticker off of it!} has adjustable air bleeds and the 4 jets and gaskets you get with it are worth $20-$25 bucks!!

Don,

I've never bothered with one. I think the 700 dp'r you got will be just fine on your 331w.

Hey,
Two things about the Proform carb. Onetime I heard of a booster came loose and destroyed an engine.

The other is I feel the adjustable idle air bleeds in the Proform carb is a big improvement. The reason I say this is cutting off the choke horn on a Holley can disrupt the air flow. There isn't a way to correct this unless you have the ability to drill the air bleeds.

Anyways here is the deal, if you use a 650 vac carb and go to Proform you wind up with a 750 after upgrade. If a 750 is too much carb then do use the proform main body. You have to read the fine print and you see what I'm talking about.
