Re: Edelbrock performer manifold/carb/cam kit
Bill.
You need to realize that I am a very fast drag racer, AND a Jeep driver. I
know what you are saying. If I could just get off my butt and put one of the
race motors in the Jeep, and tow everything to Glamis (MH - Jeep - trailer,
Etc) you and I would have a ball doing Olds,Comp hill, Etc. The winner will
depend on ice chest weight. :)
However, all I am saying is that for the average wanna be rock crawler, a
Q-Jet is probably the cheapest way out for these types of problems. Yes, an
850 DP is the way to go. Just not in a slow situation.
I haven't been to the Imperial in years. I am tempted to get it all together
and meet you for a trip.
You ready?? (I'll run cooler than you. :))

Re: Edelbrock performer manifold/carb/cam kit
And I'm telling you Holleys do run OK, in situations where we'll
be running slow over rocks bouncing this way and that. In this picture
I'm running a 780 CFM Holley vacuum secondary, on the Jeep's stock Buick
V6: http://www.----------.com/68jeep.jpg Try it, you'll like the
results. Just take steps to direct the overflow gas into the other float
bowl, rather than just letting it pouring down the venturi.
Come on down. I run 240, but never hotter, or at least, I haven't
blown the coolant out, yet.

Re: Edelbrock performer manifold/carb/cam kit
Fair enough. I'll try it again. I have a 3310 laying around that is dying
for a rebuild. I'll let you know what happens, but it may be until next
March or so until I get a chance to get back to the Sierras for a trail
test. But, I will try it.
What part of the dunes do you usually go to? 78 end 8 End?
Glamis? Buttercup? Ogilby?

March or so until I get a chance to get back to the Sierras for a trail

Re: Edelbrock performer manifold/carb/cam kit
Fair enough. I'll try it again. I have a 3310 laying around that is dying
for a rebuild. I'll let you know what happens, but it may be until next
March or so until I get a chance to get back to the Sierras for a trail
test. But, I will try it.

Glamis, one mile south of 78, along the railroad tracks, straight
east of Oldsmobile.
