RE: [Chevelle-list] carter AFB

[Dave Studly]

Any brand carb can be made to run very well – Qjet, Holley, Carter, Edelbrock, assuming it is in good working condition.  Each brand has its own tuning process.  I’ve always used Holley vacuum secondary carbs with good results. If you’re new at carburetors, the best carb to use might be the brand that your buddy has who knows how to tune his – ie, if your friend is good with Holleys, don’t use a Carter/QJet/Edelbrock.  If they’re good with Qjets, get a Qjet… etc. -Dave   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bob howard Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 7:30 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] carter AFB   Tell me the difference.
