Carburator Questions

[Djgabriel2010]

So some items were given to me and the carbs are missing little things like a bolt here and there. I recieved a Chevrolet Performance ZZ4 Intake Manifold 10185063
A Edelbrock 1406 - Edelbrock Performer Carburetors and
a Holley Carburator 1850-5
and my question is should i add this to my truck? and which one? Now keep in mind i dont know about anything on these parts and they look nice but thats as far as my knowledge goes on these type of things.

If the motor is all stock and runs well, I'd leave it alone because a new intake and carb really isn't going to gain you any power without other changes. But if the q-jet is shot, I personally would refresh the Holley and throw it on with the intake too. Only because I know a Holley much better than a q-jet.

BTW, the Holley is a 600 cfm and I think the Eddy is a 600 or 650 too.

Both are 600cfm carbs. The 1850 is a vacuum secondary carb IIRC, where the Edelbrock is a mechanical secondary. If you're planning on using either, use the Holley.
