Fordtruckman80. wow i bet there will never be another 300 with colors like yours. nice

Regarding the original reply there are lots of performance parts for your truck. Cliffordperformance, Summit, Jegs, offenhauser intakes...

Headers, intake, cam, better carb, are some good starters. A single 4 barrel holley 390 or even the truck avenger 470 will be alot easier to tune than some of the fancier double and triple side draught systems setups that you see like that "Hot ford 300". While a triple side draught looks cool and definitely will go faster and widen your band you'll see less miles per gallon than a well tuned and jetted holley 390. Not to mention the cost for all that and then figuring out how to get it to run well.

The only carb that will fit the stock intake is a 1 barrel.Do you need a new carburetor?

 

[OLDRLBL]

Yes they do. I love that sound.

 

[yenkojoe]

LMC has replacement carbs.

Try hitting up Holley's reman store on ebay. Usually some pretty slick deals there. I remember seeing the carbs I run for $95 on there...and new they're right around $360. Just be sure it's the Holley store.

LMC has replacement carbs.

If I've said it one, I've said it eleventeen bajillion times...stay away from LMC like the plague. I guess you gotta live and learn...and usually that won't happen until you buy a pricey part and it's dented right out of the box, or rusted through in 6 months, or you realize how cheap their products really are.

Dad bought bumpers for his chevy a couple times after one winter here theyd be ruined. While I have the original chrome front bumper on the 85 and not a spec of rust on it.

I haven't looked at my LMC catalog lately,but I coulda sworn they listed factory carter replacement carbs,which shouldn't be crappy like the rest of LMC's parts.That's the only reason I mentioned them.If they don't list factory replacement Carters,then I retract the statement.Trust me,I know how much LMC's parts suck.I sat on an LMC tailgate once and bowed it right down the center.I don't even weigh that much.

Buying from LMC is like buying from JC Whitney,it's cheap reproduction crap.
