hey i was gonna install a 600cfm holley on my 13b street port and my dad said that it wouldnt work well since im a automatic..... something about low RPM start offs and it getting too much gas ........

this tru.... holla back

thx

FD Racer

I've never seen a 1st gen automatic, but I would imagine that they work similar to other carbed autos in that they have linkage hooked up from the carb to the trans so that when your cruising in a high gear / low rpm and you step on it, the tran will downshift. Without the linkage the trans will probably downshift real crappy.

yeah my 85 GS is an automatic with a carb and it works right as FD racer described.

i pretty much manually shift it all the time..cause other wise i could run faster...so would this help?

you need an at kickdown on the carb,

with the right jetting and mixture settings it would work ok,

BTW, since no one mentioned it 600CFM carb is a little big for a 13B street port.. it is more suited for a bridge.. It will work, but drivability might not be that great..


If you want a holley, look for a RB tuned 550CFM carb, they work fairly well.. OR go with a 48IDA or other appropriatly sized webber.
