Quick fuel carb
« on: May 01, 2014, 08:19:25 AM »
I was reading and seen Quick fuel tech makes a 735 cfm vac sec carb that seems like a good carb for a FE. Anybody ever use there carbs?

This Quick Fuel SSR-780-VS is a nice carb:

I have the 735cfm on my stockish 390 in my 76 F100.
Aside from fooling with getting the secondaries to fully close on their own, I have had no problems.
I take all my carbs apart every year or so, and everything always looks good.  I like the adjustability even on the simple QF carbs.

I use a lot of them.
They tend to be a touch rich on the delivered calibration, but are very linear in mixture through the RPM range.

I had one 780 vacuum that was really unhappy on a particular combination - put it on something else and it worked great - never understood why...the double pumper I installed on the problematic engine worked great too....

The factory Ford 735 Holley was one of the very best carbs ever produced.
