most carb flooding is caused by a bad float causing wrong float level or a bad needle and seat
both are easy and cheap to fix
A four barrel carb usually adds about 20 hp.
Yes. There are adapters available for this, however switching to the correct intake manifold is a better solution.
if it's a four barrel, it's in the carb.
you will have to install a 2 bbl intake manifold to mount the 2 bbl. carb.
in cars, most of the time the carbs are two barrel which means there are two main terminals, if you want more power, you'd go with a four barrel carb witch has four main terminals.
That usually means that a needle and seat assembly is stuck open. Could be some dirt or something keeping it from closing.
On my 83 z28 305 it is 700 rpm
The four barrel usually gets a little better mileage because the primaries of a Rochester Quadrajet are a lot smaller than the Rochester 2-jet that was used at the time. Once you open the secondaries of a quadrajet however, you will use significantly more fuel than a 2-jet.
On the intake manifold next to the carb or directly behind the carb depending on two or four barrel car. It's held on with two bolts and has a vacuum line going to it.
A stock 302 engine with a two barrel Carb has 210 horsepower and 300 lb ft of torque, with a four barrel, 230 horsepower and 310 lb ft of torque.
Depends on carb and exhaust setup. If it's a four barrel with dual exhaust and not one of the stage 1 options than it has 230 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque. Amusingly enough, a two barrel setup has as much power as a four barrel 350 (little more torque though).
Most '86 Caprice engines were fitted with a four barrel carb which requires occasional adjustment to keep idle at reasonable speed.
