[tomfed]

any one have a holley 1050 they want to sell and looking for the 4500 series mopar performance intake for a 383-400 engine??

Depending upon your engine combination, there may be power gains running a 4500 flange adaptor DOWN to a 4150 std Holley Intake manifold, rather than 4500 Carb directly to 4500 Intake.
Sounds goofy I know,
but check around the internet for dyno results, the INDY 440-2A 4500 to 4150 as an example on the INDY manifold, again relative to combinations.

Not goofy at all. I have seen the same thing. Basicly acts like a venturi. Measure for hood clearance.

If you want to go with a Dominator carb, get a two circuit one, stay away from the three circuit ones.

To get a Dominator to work right in a street ride it will need TLC. You will need to change out jets in the metering blocks (Emulsion Bleeds), change out the Transfer Slot and Idle Feed restrictors, Air Bleed jets.. Play around with engine timing depending on what kind of cam is in the engine. I dont know how much you worked on carbs, but to get a Dominator to work right is a challange and takes work, but most of all you need patience...
