Edelbrock Carb
OK so here is the deal...
I purchased a 1980 camaro with a strong engine and beat to hell interior...
Ihave worked my butt off and now my camaro is looking much better...
but now that i and done with the looks i am now looking to how well the car runs and it is very easy to tell that my carb is runningsome whatrich... and rather then just turn it down i was wondering if some one could tell me how to go about tuningit to function at peek performance...
( I have a 305 with a 4 barrel intake using Edelbrock carb w/ electric choke )

RE: Edelbrock Carb
When is the car running rich? Idle, mid-range or full throttle? A good start would be to identify the carb. Make certain it is not too much carb for the engine. Many people think, "bigger carb=faster car". This is not always true, an engine will only handle a certain amount of fuel. If the carb seems to working properly and is sized to the engine (flow), you may need to make some jetting changes.

RE: Edelbrock Carb
wellI know that the carb runs rich when it is idling and as for mid to full throttle i don't know how to tell....
How doI go about finding out what model Edelbrock carbI have....I was only told from the seller that it was a high performance carb....
I realize that its not the size of your carb that improves your speed.. but my question is will the tuning of it make a noticeable difference in its performance in terms of speed and MPG ?

Then click on owner’s manual. It will have all the info you need
To tell which carb you have, there is a number stamped on the front down by the left hold down bolt
