Torque Specs - Edelbrock 2101

[Mike Carter]

What are the torque settings fro Edelbrock 2101? I went from cast to aluminum, just want to check. Also went to Carter carb, 800CFM, with elec choke.

Thanks Mike

I hope you have a big block in there if you don't send that carb. back!! It's WAY to big for a small block.

Burglar,

Thanks counting on you, wanted to make sure no differnece between cast and aluminum, got the sequence part.

Offshore, maybe, but you got to live and learn. I think gas is gas determined by jet size and air is air, a lotta small blocks used similar cfm carbs, I'll make sure I let you all know if it doesn't work.

I was thinking the same thing...800cfm is large for a small block. I'm running a Carter 625cfm with a performer intake.

80convertible -- 800cfm is large for a small block

A case where bigger isnt always better.
800 cfm will drown a stock 350.

offshore is right. You will have a new idea soon. The Q-J has small primary bores & the Carter is a squarebore carb. In general all you need for mild 350 in a squarebore is 600-650.
Can determine w/ cam specs.
