Just got a 75 c30 454

hey everyone I just got my new to me c30 started up today. It's been in my family since new and it's the awful gold cream color with a factory 57k miles. Hope to go back out and get some pictures in the morning unfortunately I believe it has a carter afb carb and my grandpa gave me a holly 750cfm with the truck so debating what to use. Pretty excited to have gotten this truck have quite a few fond memories with this truck.

I like that color myself... You should throw a Quadrajet on it and call it a day. The Holley would be fine, though, I think. Welcome!

Welcome to the site, sounds like a cool ride, use the carb that you're most familiar with, it'll make life a whole lot easier come tune up time..

Thanks for the input guys I'm pretty familiar with holly and qjet it's just trying to find a proper qjet that will cause issues. I'll get pictures of it later today hopefully!

With out a doubt, carb wise. Other then that I’ve seen good things about the Sniper EFI, nice clean package.

Thanks talking with my old school boss I'm going to go with the holly. 750 is right about the perfect cfm for my uses and I'm on a budget( aren't we all of some kind) I'd love to find a 750 cfm q jet but maybe in the future.

Darn it went out to the truck today and was so pissed I forgot to grab pictures. Holly conversion isn't going so well already.
