Which Carb?
I need some ideas for a carb. I have a 1976 F-250, with a 1971 460 in it. It has a mild cam, edlebrock intake, and 10.5 to 1 copression. I plan to use this truck for towing. I've asked a couple of shops for their input on what CFM I should have, and none of these suggestions have come back the same. Right now I have Edlebrock 600 on it, and it does not perform well, so I am switching to Holley. Any suggestions, and ideas, would be great. Thanks

Welcome to the site 
This is a CARB application to an engine question NOT a 73-79 specific topic.

Therefore it will be moved to either the 460 or Fuel delivery forum.

a few of us are bickering back and forth about little stuff, but I tell my opinion about Holleys, and some others complain about em, then a few back me up...personaly i would put a 750 vacuum secondary on yours, set the timing at 12-14* BTDC and buckle up!!

It has an Edelbrock Performer intake, headers, CompCams 268H cam, lifters and matching valve springs, and an Edelbrock double roller timing chain installed straight up.
All Edelbrock carbs are mechanical secondaries with a secondary air valve to prevent hesitation when opening the 4bbls. I use it for towing and daily driving.
