Well I'm not a Dominator expert, but I'll just tell 'ya that mine is a # 8082 meant for single 4 bbl applications, and does NOT have "soft" progressive linkage. Yes all Standard Holley Fuel jets and Squirters interchange. They use Holley HP series Metering blocks and bowls. Mine is listed for $607 in Jegs.. And I could'nt be more thrilled with the idle, the throttle response etc. Only thing I did to mine was pull the 6.5PV's and install plugs front and rear, Installed the supplied rear jet extensions, and jetted 90 square. Other than that it is "box stock" Ryan J.
OH also don't forget that because the Dom. main body is so wide, it requires a wider fuel log setup than a 4150 series. Oh and 1 other thing The Moroso 4500-4150 adapter is a REALLY nice piece.

That's not actually the throttle lever, it's the lever to adjust the secondary blade opening..... You can just barely see my Lokar throttle cable on the other side....
Tall Guy: check out my Fuel log in the pic above..... It is a 2 piece unit that has an internal O ring and telescopes, so it can be used on BOTH 4150 and 4500 carbs! Also Billet Aluminum, with a 3/8 NPT port on one end for the Pressure gauge and -8 AN fitting on the other end. It was'nt cheap! Mine is made by Holley, and Braswell and another carb company (can't think of their name off top of my head) make VERY similar units..... Ryan J.

I think I paid $182 and that was from my local machine shop. Summit wanted like $190 plus shipping (handling) + Rural delivery fee..... Yeah Sticker shock, but they are NICE, and I am done buying fuel line/fittings/logs for a Looong time.

the 8082 is a 2 circuit, the 8896 is a 3 circuit (idle,intermidiate,and high speed), the 9375 is a 3 circuit for a 2*4(tunnel ram) application. also the 9375 has no power valves, the others do. try the 8896, the 3 circuit is a little more tunable.

Any of them will work. IMO the 3 circuit Dominators are the ones to have. Much more tuneability and if it is street driven they will make it more driveable. The difference between the 2x4 and 1x4 versions are some fine tuning of the metering blocks and bleeds. Does not mean they do not work in 1x4 applications. I ran a 9377(2x4) on the Belvedere once dialed in,only some bleed tweaks it worked flawlessly.
