Hi Dale,
By now you probably saw my previous message, which also said that I agree
with you but in a different way (Even though I called you Brad. Sorry about
that.).
I think the main thing is to be realistic about what RPM you are trying to
achieve 100% VE at. Most street-only cars don't ever se

WOW!..thanks everyone for all the information!..I will let you all know how
it turns out...performance wise!..I really missed this list!!!
Thanks

Sounds like Rochester should have taken a page from the mattress industry:
"Do not remove this tag under penalty of law...!"
I tried Googling "Rochester 4CG + rebuild kit" and got some useful-looking
sites. I didn't have much time to look around, but I did find that GM used
4CGs on big block Cadi
Unfortunately the 4Gs came with an attached aluminum tag that contained the pertinent
info, and the tags were prone to being damaged or disappearing. 8^( I keep my eyes
open at swap meets so maybe if I find one that still has its tag I'll take a flyer on
it. Of course, there's no guarantee it
Brad,
Makes sense to me, although I seem to recall hearing that these oldies were
getting expensive -- probably from someone who wanted to sell one to a
restorer. They can't be rare -- they made zillions of em. And just about
as many versions, each requiring a different rebuild kit! Were these
My experience has been that the older intakes are worth $$$ only to those who want or
need them for a specific reason; I had a '64 WCFB intake and a '66 4G intake for a
long time before finding people (both list members, incidentally) who were interested
in them. Same goes for 4G carbs...which
Without meaning to deflect the technical drift of this thread, I had a
thought:
Whatever happened to those old Carter (WCFB?) and Rochester (4CG?)
four-barrels that I remember coming with up-rated 283s? They flowed far
less than 600cfm -- nearer 400 or 450cfm, I think -- and seemed to do the

Right, you can calculate for 100% VE and you probably won't get it, but if
you calculate for 75% VE you definitely won't get it. You probably wouldn't
even get the 75% you think you are trying to get because VE is influenced by
more than just the carburetor.
Again, the key is to *be realistic* abo

Be cautious of what manifold you use on a 283-2 barrel engine.
It was pointed out to me that these have small ports so some manifolds aren't a good
match.
see Team Chevelle engine forum:

It's occurred to me
What you are supposed to do is *be realistic* about what max RPM you will be
running at, and find the CFM that will get you 100% VE at that RPM. Using
the formula to find a carb that will get you 75% VE at your max RPM kind of
defeats the purpose of using the formula if you ask me.
Now, it's true

Hi John,
I did the same thing on my '64. Used the
Edelbrock 600 CFM 4 BBL. Does get the job done .

Does anyone know where I could find information on the carburetor size that
was on the 66 Malibu, 2 barrel, 283 motor. I need to replace mine and was
thinking about getting a edelbrock 4 barrel manifold and carb
Does anyone know where I could find information on the carburetor size that
was on the 66 Malibu, 2 barrel, 283 motor. I need to replace mine and was
thinking about getting a edelbrock 4 barrel manifold and carb but not sure
of the cfm to get. Any hints or suggestion would be great.
