I have used several of these carbs in the past (20 years ago). They are very tunable and when setup properly can give reasonable fuel mileage on the street. Since they use small primaries and larger secondaries tuning can be somewhat tricky. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone who has spent time tuning a carb for a certain combination. Good luck and should be a very doable project. I have a question, does Holley still build spreadbore carbs??
