    Need some install advice

    use thin layer on each side of the gasket around the water ports, then a large neatly applied bead front and back (throw the cork fore and aft gaskets in the trash) they always leak or seep. you need a large enough bead to touch the intake when it is sat into place, start all bolts into the...

    secondary throttle blade position

    secondary throttle blade position

    You hit the nail right on the head, sometimes when the primary idle circuit is too rich and the mixture screws are unresponsive this can be a great remedy...look for the idle transfer slots on the primary side to be covered or the carb will think it's not at idle and run rich,this is true on...

    pcv valve port

    well yes it draws fresh air from the outside of the engine and evacuates crankcase gasses,but it's a small amount of crankcase gasses to a larger amount of fresh air that get's burned.so really it has many advantages over not running one.

    pcv valve port

    Hmmmm,just plug it up and see,It stands to reason if you plug it up the engine will richen up,and if you pull the pcv valve off of the end it will lean it out.it's basicly a controlled vacume leak.plus having it hooked up does have other advantages that ramcharger has pointed out.If you had a...

    In this statement ramchargere is talking about the secondary butterfly adjustment "On the underside of a stock style Holley carb there is a allen screw that can only be seen with the carb removed.
