Carburator question
I have a stock 302 with a performance edelbrock intake, HEI distributor, long tube headers. I'm running a 1406 edelbrock electric choke, I was wondering if the carb was to big for a stock 302. I feel like I should be getting better throttle response, does anybody know if I should be going down to a 500 cfm or stay with the 600

I think a 600 should be just fine, especially since its a vacuum secondary. How do your plugs look? If you're running rich, then jet down two sizes and try again.
However summit racings calculator puts your engine between 445-576cfm

metering rods control part throttle fuel on a Edelbrock. Jets are WOT.
An easy way to lean an Edelbrock is swap the rear jets with the fronts, they are two sizes smaller stock
