Let’s begin by looking at carburetor size since that seems to be the biggest question on everybody’s mind – “What size Holley do I need for my engine?” For carburetors, sizing is rated by a rated volume of air it can flow. In this case, it is cubic feet per minute, or CFM.
According to our chart the engine’s airflow requirement is 700 C.F.M. at 100% volumetric effi-ciency. At 85%, however, the C.F.M. requirement is 595 C.F.M. This engine would, therefore, require a 600 C.F.M. carburetor. NOTE: Supercharged engines generally require carburetors with 40% to 50% more C.F.M. than normally aspirated engines.

You can consult one of Holley’s carb selection charts. Based on 100-percent VE, if the chart indicates that the best size is, for example, 700 cfm, if the engine has around 85-percent VE. So, in theory, a better choice for that engine might be a carb size of 600 cfm.
Shape And Size. The shape and size of a Holley carb will be a dead giveaway as to the type. The 4150 and 4160 models have a rectangular shape and a four-barrel design. If you want to be able to tell the difference between these two models, look at the secondary system.
