Did you put it on the stock intake, and do you still have the stock cam? I need to either refurbish my Motorcraft or get a new carb, but was thinking of doing the intake and carb at the same time. Glad to hear the car is running good.

Could you tell me the reason you replaced it? I am having problems with my carb running too rich and therefore if i give it alot of gas it hickups and even bogs itself down enough to stall it when i accelerate quickly...I'm thinking of getting a new carb soon as well, i hope this is the cause of my problems...
EDIT: oh P.S. it also is having a little problem starting up in the morning

And, unless you have a lot of mods on your engine, you don't need a 600 cfm carb.
If you look down into your carb, you will see the venturi (round hole). That hole is a certain diameter depending how much air you want to draw into that engine. If you have a stock engine and you put on a carb that has too big of a venture you will be drawing in more air than is needed. You will need more gas to mix with that extra air, and you will need a hotter spark to burn that extra gas and air mixture that your engine was not designed to burn. Just throwing on a new and bigger carburetor is certainly not the answer.

mods to increase power ( and typically fuel consumption ). I would not change the carb, if I did not have some headers to free
the extra gasses at the other end. Personally I like working on carbs, as its one piece you can take off the car, find a clean work area,
and see how it works. If you have a carb overhaul kit it can be a fun afternoon job.

No there is no smell of gas. Hope you can figurethis out . You got alot of suggestions. I replaced an oldHolleythat was in bad shape beyond repair,someone screwed it up before me,the secondaries would stick open sometime abit or wide open after I stopped. Have you called Edelbrock help tech line.
