No cylinder should read less than 100 psi (690 kPa). Compression recorded on any one cylinder should not be less than 70% of the highest cylinder.
What size marine carburetor do I need?
To arrive at the most appropriate carburetor choice, there’s a basic formula: engine displacement multiplied by maximum rpm divided by 3,456. For example: a typical 355ci small-block—a 0.030-over rebuild—with a 6,000-rpm max engine speed would work well with a 616-cfm carb ((355 x 6,000) 3,456 = 616.32).

What is the compression ratio on a stock 454?
8.2:1
Assuming the engine is stock, the key bottleneck is a weak 8.2:1 factory static compression ratio (and that’s optimistic; a non-blueprinted motor can be to of a point lower than its official rating).
How much compression should a 454 have?
A buddy of mine has a remanufactured long block with compression between 125-130 psi. The important thing is consistency between the cylinders – I’ve been told that within 20% is acceptable. Also 100 psi is the lower limit on compression readings for a 454 before you should have the engine serviced.
What Holley carburetor do I have?
It’s like a “VIN” for your carburetor and should be hand-stamped on the front of the choke tower to the right of the vent tube on most typical Holley carbs. The list number typically is four to six digits long and may or may not have a suffix number behind it. The date code will be right below it.
