Nope, They are going to flow differently because of the difference in boosters. The 525 will work on the application but you are giving up performance over the recommended 625.

HaHA... try working the phones here for a few days ,lol . actually pretty used to it as we will get guys call in 2,3 and 4 times hoping to get different answers and with caller id we each usually talk to them at least 2 of those times.

hey tech the carb is on my 4x4 so a small hit in performance wont matter too much. they couldnt get in another 625 for a couple a weeks and im limited for time, so i went for the 525 thinking smaller would be safer than too big. didnt mean to insult the guys on the board by going against going against theyre recommendations

. what i was wondering is the carb didnt come with the little ball stud for the throttle or the 700r4 kickdown.do you have some part numbers for me because i have no idea where to find those little buggers.

thnx carl
