I am putting a 5.7L vortec in my old 1979 Century 3000. The intake manifold is a spreadbore cast iron manifold sold by Michigan Motorz. I have an old Rochester Quadrajet, but needs an electric choke conversion. This seems simple, but in truth, I had so much trouble last season with my old engine, I am nervous about using this old carb on my new project.
considering a new carb purchase: is an Edelbrock 1409 with a square hole adapter a good choice, or should I try and find a new spreadbore carb with no adapter? I am not building a race engine, just typical boater. Faster is better, pull kids on tube, slalom skiier.....looking for reliability foremost.
thanks
