It's time to get a new carburetor for my y-Block. The current 600 cfm Carter AFB has seen better days and is leaking at the throttle shafts. It has given 20 years service.
I have a mildly upgraded 272 Y Block in my '54 F100. It has been balanced and rebuilt by Ted Eatonusing big valve heads and a mild cam upgrade. I am using the FORD ECZ-9425-B intake manifold. It is used for cruising and towing a boat, soI don't want a fire breathing dragon, and fuel economy is nice.
I am considering trying one of the Demon Fuel Systems "Street Demon 625 cfm" #1900 4 bbls. Does anyone have any experience with thiscarb on a Y-block?? Does it have thelarge vacuum port for the Y-Block PCV system hose (The Carter has a big vacuum port in its base)? Is this too much carb cfm for a 272?
Any other 4 bbl. carbsI should be considering that offer simplicity with a combination of performanceand economy?
Thanks and regards, Jeff
