What model, the early style 780 with downleg boosters and a secondary metering block, or the later 750 with straight boosters and a cheap metering plate?

A long tome ago, I used one on my 440 bracket car with some success. Easy to drive, but eventually I worked up to an 850 DP and achieved that cars best ETs and speed. Still a good place to start and you can use the same fittings and linkage on a bigger carb.

Used one on a 383, I set it up like the old DC book showed. They work great with tighter converters, street-strip type. Takes a while to get it fine tuned, but you'll be happy with it.

I would go with a double pumper for racing. #3310 was made to be a super inexpensive (Super Shops) street carb. Easily tunable (read sell more parts, pump cams, springs, vacuum diaphragms) and safe for street use.

2970 total, stock stroke 360, X heads, 4:56 gear, 5100 flash, .557 cam, 1.50 60's, well thought out, hundreds of passes. A B A, each jetted over hundreds of passes, no difference in R4780 and R3310. (780, down leg boosters). It depends on the motor. Enough is enough. Anecdotal opinion from a dumb A@@!

If you can tune a carb and the carb is sized right for your combo, then you can make most any one work. Some will just take more work and require more changes than others.

In other words, the tuner is more important than the carb. I personally like the 3310. A lot. For street cars, it and the new Street Demons are my go-to carbs. But it would not be my first choice for a track car. But that doesn't mean it cannot be a winner in the right hands and on the right combo. As has been noted in a previous post.

I'm sorry, that was 33 years ago! I do remember that combo needed more pump shot, so I used a 50 cc pump. A different cam, converter, manifold combo probably wouldn't need it.

My old RR with a 440, 4 spd with 4.56 gears used a 780 carb on top of a M1 single plane and liked it a lot. The trickest part on the whole carb was the .31 squirter.

up Found this one in a carb junk pile at a swap meet. $25. Works great. The 3310 is one of the all time best street carbs Holley ever sold - and they sold plenty.

Even though I like and have them on street engines, a vacuum secondary carb is not the best for the track. They aren't as quick to react. You will never get the car to 60 as good as a double pumper. my twocents

I ran a 3310-1 for years and liked the adjustability. It did take a 50cc pump for best results. Won a few track championships using it. DP's will 60 better.
