Carb suggestions
Ok i just got a 66 starfire with a 70 455 BB in it.
the carb is a holley 4010 made in 78.
it has the race setup with choke tower and such deleted.
its 750cfm and it FLOODS the motor badly.
just wondering if since my motor is stock, what a correct size carb would be, especially if im going to do heads/headers/exhaust in the nearish future?
holley website says 600-750, should I go with a 750 then? or say a 670?

I agree with these guys, the carb on your engine does not seem to fit it in my opinion. Some people think you can put a monster carb or modify a street carb by removing the choke, jetting it up, and hogging it out and then do nothing else to the engine. That usually won't work well, especially for streetability. A QJet is a very good carb, GM used it on millions of cars succesfully.

See but I dont have the original intake manifold anymore so it would be sorta hard. I got a torker 2 intake with the squarebore. I THINK I might have a spreadbore adapter in my trunk that the guy gave me. Have to look again. I also dont think I have the choke spring, and since Im not at home its hard to find out right away, it should be on the passenger side of the intake manifold correct? Wound up in a circle? or ball, whichever you choose. Do you know if it came off a 455? And PM me or email me at madhatter3601@hotmail.com with a price. Choke is a very usefull tool out in wyoming.. and thats what I would be interested in.
Thanks guys, ,

Get an electric choke from a newer QJet. Works like a champ. Trust me.
Are you sure it is a Torker II? I thought Ebrock had the Torker 455 for Olds...and a pre-79 QJet will fit those just fine.

I have seen both squarebore and spreadbore Torkers, don't know what they call them though. Electric choke!!!!!!! but yes to your question about where the choke should be and what it looks like, it should be in a little sheet metal box (old style) or coiled in a round housing that mounts on the side of the carb (newer style). Yours is should be the latter.
