Description

This 500 CFM 4-barrel carburetor is engineered for consistency, durability, and easy tuning. Unlike traditional designs, it's unaffected by engine backfires—there are no power valves to blow out, and the metering rods can be swapped in seconds without removing the carburetor or draining fuel.

Once tuned, the carburetor 'holds a tune', meaning your calibration stays locked in for consistent long-term performance—no frequent readjustments needed. Compared to conventional carburetors, this design offers superior stability under varying conditions.

The lightweight all-aluminum, two-piece body resists warping and is compatible with gasohol and blended fuels, offering long-lasting reliability. Simple tub-style float bowls, rear-pivot floats, and a clean layout make it extremely user-friendly and easy to service, ideal for both daily use and mild performance setups.

Installation is simple—just bolt it on with no special tools required. This carburetor is compatible with the Edelbrock 2114 intake manifold, and works well in:

• 1975 Ford F-250 with a 390ci V8 and manual transmission
• Chevy LG4 305ci small-block engines
• Mild-performance builds, dual four-wheel drive setups, and small-CID street trucks

⚠️ APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS:

• Not Fit for boats, not for Ford automatic transmissions that require kickdown
  
• This carburetor is not compatible with supercharged systems. Supercharged applications require a straight-through carburetor.
  
• When used with the original Chevrolet 305 Quadrajet intake manifold, adapter 2696 is required.
