Dual Quad carb sizing? Were can i find the carbs?
« on: October 19, 2009, 08:47:38 PM »
Does anyone have any idea what the prefered size carters I should use on a dual quad set up for a 1965 401?  Trying to keep that stock look.  I have a stock intake and the stock super wildcat air cleaner.  Just need the carbs and the linkage.  The linkage is available here on the forum. 
 Thanks Dave

Stock size was a 625, so get at least a pair of 600's. 
For more top-end power, our guru recommends one 750 carb in the front for WOT, and a 600 in the rear for cruising.
