Hi i have a 202 with tripple sus..... I want to remove these and run the standard Blue manifold and use a conventional carby and run gas on it... I have found a manifold, now i just need a carby... Which one should i use, its going to be in a HT Prem Trimatic Hi Way driver... just concerned with a standard performance type carby.. I have been told the Variax isnt too good?? I am only going to run gas, so can this carby be spudded ? Or do i need to find the gas top air cleaner? Will this type of carby fit up with the cable linkage ? Or, do i buy a holley adaptor and run a 350? I also have been told the xf carby is good.... if so ,is there an adaptor available for the blue carby....looking for the cheap way out :) Thanks very much...

When on gas, the carby becomes a throttle body. The fuel is dispensed by the mixer. I ran a 202 with a Holley 350, and it was a good throttlebody. I also had a 253 with a flogged out Rochester that was great as a gas throttlebody, but needed a full reco t |

I think the Varijet would be a better option on gas than a 350 Holley. Remember, simular internals to Q-Jet, tune accordingly.
also bigger CFM Varijet 1 - 375 CFM Varijet 11 - 398 CFM. cheers

my 253 runs gas, I have a 2 barrel stromberg pre immision carby and it runs well, the guy who rebuilt it said they were good for gas as they are a simple design.

Jim is spot on... a vk efi manifold is by far the best manifold for straigt gas(without spending heaps of cash) and then you just bolt a gas research carby straight on to original throttlebody location. Gas convertor then bolts neatly on to the existing

I dont think you can buy a triple carb manifold for a blue motor. In fact there are bugger all manifolds to suit. In reality though, youll not gain all that much by using a blue head with triple SUs or Strombergs, so you might find it easier to use |
