I think with Edelbrock carbs they tend to run in 500, 600, 700, and not in 650, 750, etc.

And as far as the Barry Grant carb, (Demon), I think they are out of business.

And oh yea, I agree with 2+2's sizing recommendation.

We are all here to learn, (as I am ) and hopefully be the one to teach another someday.
