I\'m running a 750 vacume secondary Holley. Its the electric choke model so it has a different part # than a 3310, but is the same carb. Its taken me awhile to get it in tune, but it works great now.

depends on how built your engine is if your running a stock intake im guess not much more than stock id recommend haveing the qjet rebuilt when there tuned right they are awsome carbs on sock engines if the holley is a 750 it might be to much this would cause less power good luck

I\'ve got a holley 650 dp. Gonna get the proform 750 throttle body and upgrade it to a 750. Hella cheaper than a new carb. Proform\'s supposed to add a few ponies too. More tunability, adjustments, etc.

i am running a bg mighty demon 725 on my 51 pontiac, a carter comp 625 on my s-10, and a edelbrock 750 on my gto, i like every single one of them, they all have nice features, and i agree that the q-jet is a awesome carb for a stock motor if it\'s tuned right and works properly, i also suggest getting it rebuilt and using it, by the sounds of it your definately giving the enigne way too much gas, 750\'s are for engines with around 400hp, and if your runnign the stock cast iron intake you wont be near that, so it\'ll be running way too rich and give you less power, rebuild that q-jet and use it
I plan on adding an aluminum intake in the future my engine is stock except for the solid roller cam and aluminum roller rockers and the edelbrock carb.
