getting a new carb

[turbostang79]

The Holley 500cfm from racerwalsh seems like a good one, but will it fit on my intake ?

Curently I have a '79 carbed turbo with the stock (I guess) holley 5200.
But it's running like crap now. The choke doens't work anymore, some parts are damaged ...
I think it might be some improvement getting a 500 cfm for a turbo, not sure ?
or will a 350cfm carb be more then enough and give me less problems

who has already installed it, any difference from stock in hp ?

Probably won't get much response on that here. You're best off to try turboford too.
500 CFM is pretty serious though. That was the max allowed carb in the sportsman round track class we ran. We have a 357 that makes about 400hp with a holley 2300 2brl.
Most people here that run mini stock class(2000cc, 2300cc, 2500,) use holley 390 4brls but they do it N/A and at 10k RPM.

What do your plugs look like?

By the way....I don't have a clue, but I'll help where I can.

Also.
I checked out your site and I have some pics to add if you would like.
I have a few of my 84 SVO that look ok and I have a two 351 mustangs and a turbo 2.3 88 coupe(amanda's).

thank's, I appreciate all the help I get ...

The 390cfm is the most expensive one
So the 500 would be to big for street heh ? I like to race it, but it would mostly be for street. If a 390cfm can run at 10K rpm, it should handle a turbo I guess. Maybe it'll just run better.
For now I have the motorcraft plugs, nothing special, but almost all ignition parts are new.

Too bad racerwalsh doens't have pictures of those air cleaners they sell.
I just hope that everything will fit under the hood. If the aircleaner is 0.5 inch higher then stock, I'm screwed.

You can send all the pics you want, got lots of space.
