Needing some insight
my truck is a 1979 f250 it has a 460, C6 trans, and Dana 60 rear.
I have had this truck since 2002 and have had to replace the carb once already it is the stock holley 4160 and the truck is full california emission controlled, i now live in oklahoma and would like to remove as much of the emission controls as i can. what kind of carb can i put on it? The motor is a crate engine that i put in in 2005 and i put this carb on brand new in 2007. from what i have read i think the power valves blow out in the carb causing it to run improperly. i just want something i can replace it with and not have to touch this is the fourth carb on the truck from what i was told. i would prefer to take off as much of the vacuum system as possible while im at it, it has a bunch of vacuum valves. I would like to get it to the bare essentials.

Well with 21 thread views and no opinions, I will throw out a FTE welcome and welcome to the midwest also, "Howdy Pard".
I hear Holly truck avenger is good and I hear Edelbrock is also? I have a factory
4 bbl/intake on my blue sig truck with a 460, and the red no bed one in my garage pics has a "get it and bolt it on" Edelbrock 600.
I lean towards Edelbrock, but everyone has mixed strong opinions. I am putting a Edelbrock on my 71 EB.
Post up some truck **** AKA a pic of what you own. FTE'ers like that stuff!
