Which carb?

[denny]

The older Holley 750 on my fresh built 383 stroker is junk. What would be the best non Holley carb to replace it with? The engine is supposed to be able to put out 500 hp. I don’t want to go to big, but I want one to handle power. I’ve been told everything Edelbrock 650 to 800. The car won’t be a racer just a street bruiser.

i have used the edelbrock series carbs for decades. they work great.

Just get a new carb as your old one will not be worth the time and money to fix it. You most likley have a small amount of rust / crudt hat got on the needle and seat. Holleys are notoriously for that. Install a quility fuel filter. If you are running a hot cam with 250 degree duration at .050 I would suggest a 4 corner idle version

Quickfuel carbs are the beefier version compared to hollers and they usually don't require anything out of the box and are super easy compared to other carbs. I've installed tons of them on gbodys with good luck.
