BTW, I've been looking on the net for a Holley fuel pump rebuild kit and found one place that sells it. The reassembly instructions I posted earlier are for a totally different designed pump from Edlebrock. If you are supposed to do the same thing to the Holley it Pisses Me Off that they don't tell you about that in the technical information on the Holley website. |
Re: Engine Starves for Fuel When I Hit Second Gear
the idle deal could be a timing/carb issue. but thats the least of your worries right now. better to knock out one thing at a time. I just searched around and cant find any kind of info on that holley but the edelbrock and holley are almost identical very very similar design i would assume the procedure should be the same. found this on holleys website http://www.holley.com/data/Products/.../199R10478.pdf

Re: Engine Starves for Fuel When I Hit Second Gear
theres one problem. you need to set timing with a light thats why it wont idle below 1k rpm. probably dont have near enough advance at idle.

What cam is it and what jets are in the carb front and back?

Re: Engine Starves for Fuel When I Hit Second Gear
Finally got it running yesterday. Dang these projects take forever. I bought a rebuilt Holley 4160 - VS 750 CFM. I got the manual choke installed too. Now it will crank and idle even when it's 25F. It idles at about 700 RPMs now too.
So what happened in second gear, you ask? Power, lots of head snapping power. There's no stumble, no bog or anything. It hits hard and keeps right on pulling. It also pulls a few more RPMs on the top end. I think the larger carb is letting the engine breath a little better. Power off the line is great too. Everything hooks up good and runs out hard. I definitely enjoyed some adrenaline last night. :metal: PS: I bought the carb off ebay from musclecarexpress for $169 + shipping. If anyone else is looking for a good deal on a carb, I'd recommend their services. |
