Car wont Run!
Yup.....Holleyitis.....take one Carter and call me in the morning.....
True, true true.
But I took 2 carters and put them on a 340, motor idles better, smoother steadier throttle response (got it direct 1 to 1 and no air valve in the front carb) and as much if not a bit more power than any 750 holley or demon I ever tried--and fussed with, wire drills, little brass inserts, I had it all.
Now the car can sit all week, start right up, runs smooth, week after week, got around 5,000 miles in the past 2--3 years. They were nos 500 carters made in the mid 90's
Holley is cheaper but you gotta fuss with them more it seems. I was getting many months of use of it, you just never knew--sucks, 2 times in the 20 years I had them, it stalled right at a red light--stuck float needle. Freaken traffic backed up over a 1/4 mile, got the hood up, check acc pump, dry, pull needle out, shake, re-install, pump back acc pump, get in and take off after gunning the heck out of it for 10 seconds...loads of fun, hear horns, people yelling..do i miss my holleys:laughing:
