Would I Need To Switch The Carb On My 12a
#1
Would I need to replace my carb if I decide to go for a large streetport? if so, whats a fairly cheap Carb that would work good? or should I just go with a Different street port?(I've been saveing up long enough for the rebuild, cant really afford too much more after that and new tires since old ones are dry rotted to hell)

My dad has a fairly aggressive streetport on his current 12a. He switched to a Holley 600 or 650CFM I don't recall off hand. He had to custom mill an adapter plate himself. So far the only problem is it is running a little too rich. He just has not had enough time to work on it lately to see.
He found and old holley some where cheap (prolly a junkyard), and took the number off the airhorn to buy the Holley rebuild kit and the Holley trick kit for some spare parts and shtuff. He did not come out of pocket too bad. I bought the trick kit for 40 bones I think. He saved money by doing his own adapter plate but hey not all of us have access to that kind of machinery.
I will ask him or get him to post it here. But off the top of my head I am thinking 600-650 CFM is enough fuel/air charge for about 300-350 HP at 14:1 FA mix (I might be off on that, please feel free to correct me). So if you are doing a big street port on a 12a and plan on modding past that I would recommend Holley just from seeing what the mad scientist has done to his 1st gens.
Good luck man. Keep us posted
