Clois,

I'm running an old, (probably 1964), set of Ford tri-power 2 barrels (2300 series). The primary carb has a #62 jet, secondaries are #64. I had gone to smaller jets last fall and the car had no power at all. The carbs flow about 225 to 250cfm each as I recall. Secondaries kick in at about 3000rpm.

With the cam that I'm running; Crower 15513, power usually dosn't come on until 2500rpm or so... as long as I stay 3000+ rpm shifting/power is fine.

Heads are 1968 302 with 1.90" intake, (flow 186cfm) and 1.60" exhaust, (flow 129cfm). Volumn 61cc, compression is 10:1

Ed,

After a couple seconds, everything works fine. Yeah, 5500 is fairly low, but I've been told that strokers+high rpm is not a good mix. When the engine was dyno'ed - it made peak horse power at 5750rpm so I thought 5500 was a good stopping point.

I can't tell you how many times I've felt like replacing the trip's with a single modern 4 barrel.

Thanks,

Dan
