newbie fb question
hey everybody whats up. i am an fc owner myself but one of my friends just got a 79 fb. im pretty farmiliar with my generation but i thought id go to the ppl that know better than me for these questions.
info: 1979 bridgeported 12a 850 carb
1. carb to big for this or no? womp it to clutch kick it and spin it around in first gear and it bogs down.
2. sound like a blown seal or just need somebody to tune the carb?

and by the way if any body knows of anyone in upstate ny that messes with these things and knows what theyre doing with carbs nad would be willing to lend a hand in tuning the new carb when we get it would be awesome.

Weber 48/51 IDA or Edelbrock Thunder Series would be my choices. Probably the latter since the car already has the manifold for it (just needs a spacer to clear the water pump).

nope, SA22 tells it itself :P haha it's a 1st Gen body style, SA/FB it's just the production years (or something like that) they go i believe SA from 79-80, and FB 81-85...something along those lines lol. and there's a few differences in body style and stuff.....there was a big thread about all the differences somewhere haha

this is my car and what the 7 kid forgot to mention was that the car for for some odd reason will only rev to about 7000 and the break up could it be not enough ignition ? the guy i got it from said the carb was too big obviously he had said the car ras a 12.2 at the track last year with a different manifold 650cfm carb and msd idk if that would be possible the car is stock suspension and wheels and tires are pizza cutter 175s the car now has what seems to be a stock manifold with an adapter and the 850 carb rb header and exhaust and a bridgeport as what i was told
