Carb Help

[Erik412]

Good Afternoon,

I am very new to engines and performance and would love to learn. I have done several repairs to cars both cosmetic and mechanical. My dream is to build a street/strip muscle car. It's going to take alot of help.

What is the difference between a square bore and a spread bore carb? I just purchased am 800 cfm quadrajet carb that came off of a 1988 chevy 1 ton truck. Does this even sound like a good enough carb to rebuild and have fun with?

Thanks for all the help.

Square bore has equal size carb. bores....Holley. Spread bore has larger rear bores...Q-jet. 800 is more than enough for most steet cars. And the Q-jet is an excellent carb.

Thanks again,
