i need help

[redneckbilly]

hello i am new here so sorry if i do something wrong. and i am form croatia so sorry for my english...

anyway, i have k5 82, silverdao, bought it few months ago. it vas 6,2 diesel silverado, but preowner replace it with 305 from some dodge van. whan i bought it it wouldn't start at all, acctualy it fired but only for short time and on maybe 6cylinders, and i tought ok this may be just carb rebuilt question, but when i took of the carb i noticed few things missing. so what i'll need is carb. it was dualjet 210 on it, but does anyone here knows something better to put on it?

Do you know what size v8 it is? If I had to pick I would say a holly would work good for you. Maybe a 600CFM holly.

[redneckbilly]

it is v8 305

holly you says? will it eat my gas or it has good gas millage?

and sorry for asking, but what model of holly it will be? maybe price for used?

THANKS

[redneckbilly]

will i need to change intake manifold?

[redneckbilly]

hmmm that's good question...
how can i know what intake i have?

[tobiahr]

you're going to have to remove the air filter assembly and look. If the existing carb is 4 barrel chances are the intake is also. look at the ones on the summit website for comparison. if you can take a picture and post it here we will do what we can to help identify what you've got.

[redneckbilly]

what i know is that on it was rochester dualjet 210, and i belive it ios 4 barrel...i have to check it

i found on e bay thah edelbrok is cheaper than rochester. problem is that nearly nobody whants to ship it international if carb is used....but i'll figure out something...i really whant to fix it and try how it runs....and than problem 2...sheetmetal

[tobiahr]

if you have a dual jet it is a 2 barrel carb and most likely a 2 barrel intake.
if you look at the top of the carb you'll see it appears to be in the shape of a half circle ..like a D....a four barrel will be in the shape of a full circle a O you will have to purchase a new intake to use a 4 barrel carb or use a 2 barrel carb.
The 2 barrel carb will get slightly better mileage but will have les power.

[redneckbilly]

yes you are right it is 2 barel.....

now i have to find manifold and carb...uhhh there goes my christmas savings...my girlfriend will be delighted with my announcent that we'll spend hollydays in my house

does anyone knows aprox prices for carb and manifold...used ofcourse

[tobiahr]

from ebay uk http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MANIF...mZ330286078883 £59.21


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HOLLEY-CARBURE...1%7C240%3A1318 £20.00

[redneckbilly]

thanx man but i would better buy something used......

manifold will cost about 200 $ to croatia with tax, and i can't afford it right now

[redneckbilly]

i try to find cheaper manifold but only shipping to here is aprox 200$. so my question is are there any good carbs 2 bbl to replace my rocheser dualjet? or i'll try to buy one bad one and from two build one i can use for now.....

[redneckbilly]

...hmmm maybe you'll all now think look that stupid...but i was amazed when i found on e bay adapters for carbs...does that really works? i mean could i put adapter on my stock 2 bbl inatake manifold and convert it to accept 4 bbl edelbrock or holey?
will it work ok? it could save me 200$ in cheapest option....i mean if i buy that and not chepest manifold...

[tobiahr]

it will work but not very well....mileage AND performance will suffer

[redneckbilly]

uhhhhh

i tought so...this was so good and cheap answer to all my problems...

[redneckbilly]

does anyone now wath CFM will be in 2bbl carb to fit my 305?

i found some hollys 2bbl on e bay...they are still cheaper than 4 bbl carb and manifold...

[tobiahr]

goggle is your friend

http://www.camaros.org/carb.shtml#roch

dualjet = 500 cfm (note that this was for the 2GV model on camaros yous may be a different model)

[redneckbilly]

what i found is thah mine is E2ME...

man this carb will make me nuts...

[redneckbilly]

so after few hours of google all i found is that my carb is M2MC...
i'm at the point to smash that guy who screw me...but ok this is my fault. i saw it, try to fire it...

and only idea is to buy adapter to hold that edelbrock 1405 on it...and than someday buy manifold....

[tobiahr]

i can find you carb for sale but the link i sent is the only indication as to what the cfm for the 2 barrel is. after the research i did i beieve that putting on the 4 barrel with the plat may be closer to the original CFM for the chevy 305. the only question was is this a dodge or chevy engine? you mentioned dodge in the first post. you should see if you can identify the complete engine and see exactly what it came out of year etcetera
here is a link but again shipping may be a bit steep

[redneckbilly]

thanx for that man...

i'll try to identify engine tomorow...who knowes what did they put in it

but i understood it was from somekind of dodge van

[redneckbilly]

finaly i found exowner and he told me that engine was fomr some kind of big chevy van.....

can you see something from this intake manifold pic?

[tobiahr]

Looks like one of the hundreds of Chevy 2 barrel manifolds I've scrapped in my lifetime. I would start looking for just about any 2 barrel Chevy carb you can find...Looks like 500 CFM is the most common size on 8 cyl engines so anything off a 8 cyl chevy should work. If you were in the US just about any salvage yard would be able to help you find one but there i don't know.
