Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
Was just thinking about that 350 Olds / Caddy Seville I changed over to a Qjet.
The FI system was junk!

Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
That was before I started tuning EFI. Never tried to hack those ECUs. Did, however, have a fix for the extreme lean idle & tip-in issues they developed. A 36" drill bit in a pin vice. The plastic tube to the MAP sensor got a hole drilled in it. They has a rubber hose slipped over one end. Played with that with my 4 gas infrared exhaust analyzer hooked up. Very high HCs, eratic idle and tip-in stumble was common after 50,000 or so miles. First car, I drilled too large a hole, was right next to the runner tube. Just slipped it forther onto the plastic tube to cover the hole. Knew I was onto something just went too rich. Found .036" was good for about all of them. Ran like a different car.
Had other shops ending them to me for 'the fix". LOL Yep. Still slower than a Q Jet.

Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
I never heard of anybody that had any success making a race carb out of a 7200 v v.
Last one of those things that I worked on I wouldn't even charge the customer, only thing I wanted was a promise not to bring it back. |

Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
After alot of research online, asking the right person via private message on here, the combo is doable WITH the 2700/7200 carb, was even told it would be a step backwards with a 2150. Am I set on this combo, not quite yet but real close to it.

Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
Then you asked the right person...I'll bet I know him
And I bet I know where my converter will be coming from when that time comes. |

Re: Ford 7200 vv carb.
If you are set on using that abortion, I would look into locking the slides all the way open. I never saw one hold them fully open on my chassis dyno. I also never saw one fail to pickup 10/15 hp at the tires with a plain old Ford Motorcraft 2bl. The difference driving the car was noticeable over a good working VV.
Hope it has a very soft hp factor. Best of luck.
