I need some advice on what carb to use for my current combo. I currently have a Holley 750 VS, A Holley 700 DP, And a E-brock 600. I personally think that the Holley 750 VS is going to be a little big, And that the Holley 700 DP would be the better choice. I don't really wan't to use the E-brock as I think it is to small. Below is my current combo;

302 bored 30 over
E-brock RPM heads (1.9 intake/1.6 exhaust)
E-brock RPM intake
270H comp cam magnum
1.6 roller tip rockers
MSD distributor/6AL box/Blaster ss coil
9 to 1 comp
Hedman shorty headers
2.5 inch exhaust/Flowmaster mufflers
Richmond 4.11 gears
centerforce DF clutch (11 inch)
4 spd toploader tranny.

This is in a very light 65 falcon (approx 2800 LBS). Any help on what carb to use would be greatly appreciated.

Without a doubt, I agree with your instinct -- bolt on the Holley 700DP; largely due to the fact that you're using a 'third-pedal box'.

Then, I'd sell off both the 750 VS and the E-carb and never look back....
