Thank you, I'm really taking a big interest in this. Daily I find myself out trying to figure something out on it. I also got a new carb to install.

Gonna catch hell for this, but that Quad is five times the carburetor that Edlebrock is.

What model Edlebrock?

« **Reply #79 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:32:49 PM »

It's a 1407

If it runs, I say Rock the Quad.

Most were 800 cfm and have killer part throttle operation.

I'm going to agree with this. The Q-Jet doesn't look to be in bad shape from the pic.

Ok, quad stays on. GT I think I'm going to have to just go through the entire boat. Hopefully I can finish by season start...

I have the edel Brock on my 454 and think it's to small went to lake today and can't get over 3800 rpm. Runs ok just seems to Peter out so might keep the quad

« **Reply #95 on:** March 26, 2016, 05:21:38 PM »

Yea I think I'm going with the quad, so far everyone has said its better. This boat is definitely going to be a great project.

Check the inlet fuel filters under the carb top.

It's a new carb but you never know will give it a shot. What your opinion on cfm on a basically stock 454 with a small cam it's not a hot rod just want to make it right

Had an old Chevy K -5 blazer 350 4 bolt main mild cam running a Quad. That thing hauled the mail " 😎👍
