Which dizzy/ carb for a street turbo setup?

[Anonymous]

Ok I'm getting my ducks in a row for my 200 turbo setup.I got my 8.8'' rear, my disk brakes, my toploader 3 speed, my driveshaft all the goodies sitting on one side of my shop now I'm getting my turbo stuff together. I was wanting to know if anyone has used weber carbs in a blow threw setup on our engines I have a kinda wild idea here use 2 webers on a moified log head (cap the stock carb mount) dumping into the far ends on the sides of the log(even out the fule dis) if this seams like a pipe dream let me know! I was also wanting to know if there is any real advantage to running a duraspark as opposed to say a rebuilt stocker with pentronix and a 45000v coil I plan on running a msd box down the road anyway..I'm shooting for 6-12 psi street and just want the wow factor.

Based on recent precedent, you're likely to attract derision with a multi-carbed turbo setup.

For the sake of keeping it simple, look towards complete components (ie, Duraspark rather than a Pertronix) that may be readily tweaked or diagnosed. Short of EFI, you may want to consider a 350 Holley that's been properly blueprinted (see FTF's references to them being badly finished right out the box).

There's going to be plenty of costs incurred; if you can at least be confident in the parts bought and fitted that's one less area of concern.

With sidedraft Webers, be prepared for the added costs of jets, needles, parts, etc. And none of it is usually carried at normal parts stores.

With blow through, you don't want to over-carburate. Too much carb means it will be a lot harder to get the tune right.

I don't trust the pertronix unit, myself. I have run across too many stories of them not working out. A good used Duraspark II will be the cheapest part for the whole set up that you will buy!!

Not sure how much torque that 3-speed can handle. You might want to have another one on hand if that one pops.
