Sorry for all of the posts. Does anyone know what type of carb this is from the picture? I had my dad send me a pic since I'm at school, I didn't get a chance to look at it hard enough to see if it had any identification on it.

It's most likely a reworked stock nikki 4bbl. The only other 4bbl carb i have ever seen on our cars is a holley...but they usually have a huge breather...and i'm sure it would say holly on it if that was the case.



sooo...i say nikki :P

It's no Sterling carb, but it's a somewhat modded Nikki.

So what would explain the 1500rpm hesitation? I don't really know how to "tune" a carb.

is it hesitant at just 1500 or all the way up? If its all the way up check to make sure your secondarys are opening up all the way.

It's like, if it can get past 2000 it's okay. But how would I check the secondaries?
