1968 Chrysler Newport Upgrade
Looking to upgrade my 2bbl to 4bbl on the 383 for my newport. Anyone know of a good combo intake and carb. I have been looking but want to make sure I buy the right combo. Leading towards Holley for the carb and whatever for the inake.

a 2 bbl uses differant cables and brackets than a 4 bbl. you need to research the details. iam bias to chrysler O.E.M. AFBs. the edelcrock carbs are not jetted right. just rejet them to be more like the chrysler O.E.M. AFBs. and do NOT use rubber hose for fuel line. DO use steel brake lines LIKE the factory did. they used steel for a reason.. same goes for auto trans coolant lines. do NOT use copper, it will NOT hold up. added: when jetting a AFB, edelbrock carb. change the metering rod OR the jet at one time . do NOT change both at the same time. you cant guess what your change was. all so the jet does not have to go in tight, just snug.

I have a Holley 650 cfm 4150 (NOT DOUBLE PUMPER) carb sitting on top of a 1" aluminum carb spacer, on top of an edelbrock performer series intake. I used a Locar kick down linkage and I believe it was a MR. Gasket fuel rail between the 2 fuel bowls on the carb. It runs awesome. I find holley a little tougher to get tuned right but they are a great carb.
I suggest not using a solid steel fuel rail between the 2 carb bowls as i went through 2 that leaked before I purchased my current one that has braided hose connecting 2 hard lines for the front and rear bowls. I would recommend this setup to anyone.
Good luck.
