... my wife is gonna KILL me!
I have had enough with the Holley. Aside from the poor attention to detail that Holley puts into their products, the damn thing just plain wont run. I had the accelerator pump solved, then Tuesday it started to be unsolved... no reason why. I didnt change anything prior to it going south. I opened it up, cleaned it out (although I found no debris), and adjusted the jets. Same thing. I adjusted the jets 10 times in the last week. Every combination acts exactly the same. I adjusted primaries and secondaries. I was also told by a tech that this particular carb was not designed for a single plane intake. Okay, that makes sense... it ran modestly well with the dual plane with little tuning. I will keep if for another car or truck.
I ordered a Barry Grant Speed Demon 650 with vacuum secondaries and an electric choke (1282010VE) and the appropriate line kit (140020). I should hopefully get this tomorrow. Unfortunately my wife is not going to work tomorrow, so she will be there to accept the shipment. Dead I tell you... DEAD!!
If this doesnt work I am gonna turn my car into paper clips.
