Need some advice

What is a good carburetor for a 302 and is a 1900 street demon to much?

I prefer an Edelbrock manifold and Holley Carb with some added power stuff to the motor or changing wiring and an Injection system.
Sure, the Holly injection system is a great choice too. Cost can get out of hand with carbs!

I noticed my Edelbrock Manifold hi rise adds performance well at Rocky altitudes. In low river places its so-so.

Yeah, don't go super big like that unless the engine is majorly built-up and you know what you're doing!

Welcome aboard!
