    Converting to carburetor from mpi 350 mag

    Agreed. NASCAR runs 830 CFM annual discharge Holley's. However their motors are spinning 9000 RPM I'm running a HP830 on my 468 that sees 5500 For a stock 350, 377, or 383, 650-715 CFM would be the carb size recommendation

    Merc cruiser 5 0 backfire

    the rev limiter is set at 5200 or so at what RPM are you getting the backfiring thru the carb? as stated above, most likely a lean sneeze. what were the compression numbers? what is the fuel pressure to the carb/ what were the results of checking the fuel filter contents?
