Camshaft?

[zrayr]

In my limited experience, the K code engine always did better power wise with more carbs. Two were better the one , the three duces worked better than two,4 barrels, and the Weber's were at the top,of the heap, until you started with the vintage Paxtons,etc.

However, I don't have any experience with aftermarket intakes, or modern carbs.

in comparison with my last GT350, with its Holley 715 &'Cobra Hi-Rise manifold, the Weber equipted K code was stronger all the way, from 2000 rpm to 6,500. And it made 41 more HP than the K code did before the Weber installation. I won't set any records, or set the world on fire with this car, but I got the most out of it without going modern, which was my goal.

As my dad used to say, here's more than one way to skin a cat, (although I never saw him skin one).

I'm sure the Webers were triumphant when compared to the other factory combos of the time, but they would be found lacking in comparison to the modern stuff.

I just looked up a few posts and saw where Rick Parker "liked" your reply. That really makes me sad.

Us Weber nuts have to stick together.

Life's too short, so Cheer up & I'll buy you a beer.

PS. Correction: I have used one semi-modern carb, I put a Holley Street HP 650 in my '66 GT350 w/ Vintage Paxton. I liked the replaceable air bleeds, no air horn that need milling off, etc.. I did have to fabricate an air diffuser to get the last 20% from the Paxton @ high rpm.
