So, I'm wondering about carburetion. On my 260, per expert advice, I have a Holley 465 CFM carburetor installed -- sitting on an old Edelbrock F4B. The question is about my 289, which I'm in the proc

You would have to be a moron to fit a 715 on a mild 289, especially given you are running stock MKII motor.. ie stock heads and valves..? Even 600 would be more than enough... no point bolting on a b

Screw Holley..........put a 1.08 Autolite 4100 on that 289. I have a 65 Mustang 4100 on my 260 and it runs like a scalded dog. It cold starts like a champ and idles at 700 rpm. I had a 650 Holley on

Yeah, I think you're right. Probably, anything over 600 cubic feet per minute flow is just too much. I was just curious to hear confirmations of that. I will probably move the 465 CFM over to the 289

Carb choice depends on many factors; fuel pump is one. The stock fuel pump will only support an engine around 200 HP. More HP requires more fuel pump and more carb; ditto for more RPM's. All the carb

Are you using an Autolite 2100? What jet size in that two barrel? My 4100 has 50 for primary jets. A 320 mile trip recently yielded 16.8 MPG. Seeing how I am running on the primaries only during cru

Thanks for that. I will go with the 465 Holley. It's running well-tuned on the 260, so it's a known quantity. I want to be sure to thank everybody for their help and advice. Cheers! Carb choice depen

BTW, when the Tiger ran I'd have been proud to get 18 - 20 MPG at highway speeds. I think 28 MPG is a tad high with a 4 speed, improbable even with a carbureted engine and a 5 speed, but probable wit

Another option is the Edelbrock (Carter). The way the secondaries work give a bit of latitude with a larger carburetor. I picked up an Edelbrock (cheap - of course) that is a 625 CFM. My 289 has an u

Hey, how fast do you guys drive:-) Someone wrote and talked about 3,800 rpm at 78 mph. Do you really have place where you can cruise at 78? If so, I can see why the mileage suffers. Mark In a message
