if its a 400cid casting bock, its a 400, 383 is a 350 block with 400 crank, and a 400 block with 350 crank is a 377

Really clean truck. Keep an eye at the rockers and cab corners for rust.
As for a carb....if you got a big block in there it's gonna suck for mileage anyways. I'd try cleaning out the carb and doing a tuneup on it first, especially if the previous owner didn't know shit about vehicles. ...and do a full fluid exchange too if you haven't already for the same aforementioned reason.

FIRST you don't do ANYTHING to the carb
Instead you buy a AEM wideband A/F ratio gauge and see what some basic tuning can do for the one you have. The very first thing my wideband gauge taught me was the no matter how good YOU or your local carb gurus THINK they are at tuning the reality is they're just guessing and really don't have a clue. ETA: you expect us to tell you about the carb yet don't even show us a pic of it? |
|
Well the carb needs a rebuild since it's been sitting for a year
The fucking icing on the cake today, I go snooping for numbers on the carb to see which exact carb is on there, since the guy I bought it from didn't know shit about the motor, and I look around for casting numbers on the heads, and I see four letters that make my day, DART . looks to be dart iron eagle heads on this maybe 400 motor. Last 3 digits on front numbers on block are CLK |

Buy this carb and be done with it. You don't need a 850 unless you are racing it. If you spend 99% of the time driving below 6,000 rpm, this carb will do you just fine. It will give you great street driveability and still give good performance on the top end when you decide to get down on it.

Take a serious look at this one
750, electric choke, tiny primaries for good efficiency, clean design, simple adjustments, gone with two of the 625's so far and I love them. With yours being a 400ci you could go with the 650 for better economy or the 750 for a little more power. For a street truck that won't be raced the 625 is probably the better choice, just depends on your loud foot preference. |

Don't make the mistake of buying into the calibrated for XXX application bullshit.
I guarantee if you put a wideband on the two posters carbs above it will show an absolute dog ass lazy pig rich condition at ALL rpm and throttle inputs. Because that's how carbs come from the factory so they aren't responsible for the possibility if burning up someone's motor with a lean condition. Now If you're interested in making a carb run RIGHT and have throttle response that feels like EFI you're going to need two things A wideband 02 gauge And a carb with changeable air bleeds IE the quick fuel slayer 750 A demon or Holley carb would be the absolute last carbs I would consider for a vehicle that I cared how it ran ETA here's my thread about the adventure you're about to undertake.

I would stick to a big carb since its a big engine and for brand I like my edelbrock carbs...

You know, I never said it shouldn't need tuned or adjusted once install. I basically said it was easy to do with the street demon carb. Its a great design, simple to adjust and tune, and nice to the wallet. OP wanted to know.......... rebuild or dump the 850, I'd dump it quick as its far too big for his use/motor. For a daily driver the 625 will make him smile and it will give him a long easy life.

View Quote But that's my point you can't tune it Without changeable IFR AND air bleeds you cannot do but the most rudimentary tuning And without a wideband you cannot even begin to tune any more accurately than rolling bones across the shop floor |
|
Once you start playing with the air bleeds you will be adjusting on a daily basis. Carbs are imperfect . With barimetric changes you will be changing bleeds constantly . What is a good setting at midday will be crap when the sun goes down and the temps drop. Any tuning on a carb is a compromise for a daily driver
|

My experience with tuning via wideband disagrees. Perhaps for the "experienced" tuner making wild ass guesses based on smell and plug appearance witchcraft it is the norm
Out of the box the tuning is crap at all times. Finding a good compromise state of tune us vastly superior to whatever you happen to end up with from the carb manufacturer (generally a pig rich lazy revving motor) Again OP no wideband = no carb tuning PERIOD |
|
Carb tuning predates widebands. Don't listen to the guys saying you can't tune without one.
From your pic you have some sort of Holley, if it has a cone hanging off the passenger side near the body then it is vacuum secondary. If it truly is a 850 then it will be a double pumper and way too big. To the guy saying it has to be a 400, they can be destroyed to a 383. Rare but possible. Me personally I prefer Edelbrock carbs. No gaskets below the fuel level, easy to adjust, and damn drivable right out of the box. To tune one hook up a vacuum gauge and adjust your mixture screws for the most vacuum. Your rpm will go up as you do this so you will have to turn it down, readjust, repeat. Now put new plugs in the motor and drive it around the block then pull a couple. Black is rich, bone white is lean, you want a brown look to your plugs. If all is fine and dandy toss a couple of new ones in and do a few wot passes and read the new plugs. To tune an Edelbrock you will need a tuning kit. In order to richen it, put skinnier rods under the caps on top, to lean it out use fatter rods. The springs control the rate of how fast it richens up the mixture. If you are getting lean pops or bogging on the top end you should put in a lighter spring. The accelerator pump arm has three spots, this controls your tip in response. If you have off idle bog increase the shot size until you no longer have it. Happy hot ridding! |

Carb tuning predates widebands. Don't listen to the guys saying you can't tune without one. ! View Quote I was once you! Carb tuning does predate widebands Correct carb tuning does not All the old school carb tuning indicators from the vacuum gauge to plug appearance will lead you to tuning a carb pig ass rich. Untiill you tune via wideband you cannot comprehend how wrong you were when you thought you were right. It was an eye opening experience for me.. A properly wideband tuned carb will give throttle response and economy nearly on oar with EFI and one hell of a lot better than a pig rich guesswork tuned carb. BUY a wideband, they're only. $150 nowadays and not only will it allow you to bring carb tuning out of the Middle Ages it will also tell you if something has gone wrong with your fuel delivery system in real time. A handy feature in of itself. I PROMISE any of you guys that $150 spent on a wideband will bar none be the best $150 you EVER spend on your rig. The results you can get out of one are that good Brown plugs are pig rich probably 11-12 AF ratio or less. Running correct mid 14-1 air fuel ratios the plugs will be bone white as they would be on any modern vehicle any other color = RICH RICH RICH |

Well I can tell you it's a mechanical secondary double pumper carb.
On that alone unless the trucks primary function is RACE I would recommend a different carb. such as this |
|
Ya, that is a double pumper, probably a holley with a proform main body swapped onto it. A vacuum secondary carb would be much more useful for a street motor. To see if your carb is too small hook up a vacuum gauge and if you are pulling vacuum on the top end under wot then your carb is too small.
|
|
so I got this on the truck forum I belong to
That is definitely a double pumper, but it has the aftermarket Pro Form main body. From what I have heard those really don't perform that well on the street. They are more for WOT. To try and determine the CFM of that carb, I would say measure the primary and secondary bores in the throttle plate. A 850 CFM will have a bore of 1-3/4" on both. A 700 and 750 will have 1-3/8" on the primary and 1-11/16 on the secondary. A 650 will have 1-5/16" primary and 1-11/16" secondary. Those throttle bores do look rather large and appear to both be the same size.
That would have to be one radical engine to make use of a 850 DP as well as 215cc intake port heads. There are a lot of unknowns on your engine, but I am going to say that a 650/750 carb would likely perform better. View Quote and I measured and according to my cheap micrometer its 42.46mm or 1.6715in depending on which mode its on, using the inward measuring ears, so technically 1 43/64 , so safely assume it is an 850 ? and new guy question, why vacuum secondaries over mechanical secondaries ? |
|
To be fair, a cheap way to tune is just using an O2 sensor and multi-meter. Plenty of online resources to figure out how to do it. BUT a lot of the wideband sensors out now are pretty damn slick, and have a lot of benifits like data logging and such.
Technology>guesswork. |
|
That's a 750-850 carb and too large for what your wanting to do in my opinion.
You should be able to get $150-200 bucks for it though. |

I would venture to say you could get 300+ for that carb, it really is a drag piece. |

Got more numbers for you guys, Front metering block looks to be 11173 with a 3 below it for numbers on it , and the rear one nearest the firewall shows 11166 with 3 below it. And throttle linkage plate seems to say 70645

Yep, sell the old carb. Pull the spacer, and get either an Edelbrock or Street Demon. I still lean to the Street Demon for ease of tuning and simplicity. They are similar designs. If you want it absolutely perfect, then yes a wide band o2 will get you there. Decent drivable can be done easily without it. For a daily street truck the 625 to 650 range will be best drivability, and for top end power the 750 gets the nod. But unless it's primarily a race truck, the smaller carb will work MUCH better.
Drive the shit out of it. |

Nice truck!
You need some more era-appropriate rims for it! I love those 69-72 chebbies. |

Before dumping a ton of money into that engine, considering pulling it and selling it and getting the drivetrain out of a late model GM truck and swapping it. It would be fast enough to be entertaining and several magnitudes more reliable and easier to live with. Local craigslist has several engine/tranny combos with low miles for well under $1000. Think about it, over 300 horsepower, 87 octane fuel, starts every time, no distributor to mess with, no carb jets, no power vavles, on and on.

EFI conversion using Megasquirt or whatever superseded it.

A 5.3 would be a great motor for it.
There is nothing wrong with a WBO2, it just does not fit this application. You do not tune wot to pull 14.7 anyway, you want around 12.5-13 for max horsepower. What the OP needs is great drivability, you don't buy a truck like that for gas mileage. Cater to your audience my friend. |

So I went to the local speed shop and they recommended a qft 750 , vacuum secondaries with electric choke, but they did say since I had already driven the truck with the previous carb aka Frankenstein carb that I might not be as happy with throttle response with the new one over the old one(since vac secondaries it might have a bog feeling like driving an 80s caddy, and yes he said you can dial in the vacuum secondary to activate quicker but throttle response wouldn't be as quick as my current carb) . So I haven't bought one yet as I'm still researching what I want so I don't have buyers remorse afterwards, they also did recommend a BLP weekend warrior 750 which apparently flows 930? But that's $7-900 , plus side is that they are local and one of my buddies is sponsored by them so might get slight cash break, but still a lot of $$ for a weekend truck

If you get a 750 qft and get it dialed in I promise you won't be disappointed over the current setup. Not in a fairly heavy truck with a small stall and not super low gears
