Well I have to say it got here really quick I only ordered it on the 10th Here are some pics of my brand new 750 CFM Holley.

As you can see it didn't arrive in the best of shape but they are sending me out another one ASAP

ouch they must have dropped a book or two on it lol

1968SWBBigBlock · 02-14-2007, 09:29 PM

It was a wheel chalk for the big brown truck

Aarons72s · 02-14-2007, 10:30 PM

Dang they had to work hard to do that. I agree above, did they use it as a wheel chock? Hope the next one arrives in better condition.

hvychve · 02-15-2007, 03:31 AM

there gonna send you another one huh? heck all you need now is a dual quad manifold and run em both, heck gas prices are so cheap why not......yea right. delivery guys got in hurry and dropped the poor guy, you would think they would just send you a choke stat, but was there more broke than what I saw?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-15-2007, 03:38 AM

are they sending you a new one and you have to send that one back??? because it would be awesome if you could keep both

krue · 02-15-2007, 04:48 AM

I would imagine they want the bent one back.

brak · 02-15-2007, 06:32 AM

WOW!!!

Is that all holley uses for packing material, a bag inside a box?
If so, it's A wonder more don't end up that way.

The last couple edelbrocks i've bought came completely encased in either styrofoam or molded plastic. you'd have to drive over the box with a bus to damage the carb.

AKChevyman · 02-15-2007, 07:31 AM

Yeah it would be nice if I didn't have to send back the broke one but I do and the only thing I can see that is broke is the Choke everything else functions fine there was one piece of molded Styrofoam in the box that was on top of the carb but the only thing on the bottom was a chunk of 1 inch cardboard in the middle of the box that the carb sat on. I have a boddy that has lots of extra holley parts and replacing the choke wouldn't be an issue but they are one daying the new carb and they are paying for the return shipping also.
