I picked out most of the parts I'm gonna be using when I swap the 302 into my car but was curious about two of the parts I picked out. I wanted to use an Edelbrock 750cfm Carb and the Edelbrock Air-Gap RPM intake. On the mustangs unlimited website it says that the 750 isn't recomended for use with the Air-Gap Intake. It says it is recomended for use with stock intakes and Performer series intakes. The next size up Carb would be an 800 which Edelbrock says should be used for 351 and bigger engines. So why wouldn't they recomend the 750 for the Air-Gap RPM intake? What problems could I encounter if I used them together?

I think they would work fine, I know my motor is a chevy but I have a RPM and a 750 Holley DP. 750 is too much carb for a 302 though. Run the 650DP like I have for sale and the RPM.

Never listen to MU for parts selection.

Just look around online and see what others are running on 302's and stuff.

I might even be inclined to go 650 edel and performer intake... the RPM is a bit too high end for something you'd be daily driving IMO unless you have hte cam/converter and gears to match.

Yeah you're right, I forgot my extra cubes makes everything smaller. The RPM has a 1500-6500 band and the performer has a idle to 5500 which is plenty. I agree with P2 on the performer, and the 750 is deff. way too big.

Aight. thanks, I'll probably go with the 650 and a performer then. And this might sound stupid but I don't really know much about carbs so could someone explain to me how an electric choke differs from a manual choke? and how you use each of them? Thanks, I just wanna know what would be better and easier for me to go with.

Mine has a electric choke too lol

Alright a choke aids in the warming up of the car. If its cold out and the choke is wide open the car will run like shit and bog down.

A electric choke is controlled my a heating mechanism. The electricity heats it up and it opens the warmer it gets. Basically the warmer the engine gets the more it opens so it runs properly.

A menual choke works the same way except you hafta sit there and pull a cord to open/close it.

Stick with a electric choke.

If you intend on actually using you car, go electric choke.

The end.

Ya. I'm gonna buy Josh's Holley.
