whyd you ditch the qjet for a holley.... in a 4x4?

Blue_71 · 07-25-2002, 04:14 PM

you and your danged step sides

havent fired it up yet, battery is in my grandpas truck and i still need a wirign harness (had been using bloos) im waitign on to find a GMC wiring harness... im putting a GMC front end on it

only reason i ditched the q-jet was it leaked gas and was missing some gaskets, and some dumb---- drilled out the jets...

I must say, your plug wires look much neater now! Now all ya gotta do is ditch that Holly, and you will be in great shape!!

Blue_71 · 07-25-2002, 11:26 PM

lol everybody nagged me about em untill i dug the wire looms out of my toolbox and finally put them on

im keeping my holley!!! LOL hey im biased i live less then a hour from the holley plant. the only thing i would concider besides that would be a Carter, and thats just because my grandpa knows how to tune them good.. he knows how to tune a holley too but he hates doing it.. and i got it for $42, so im happy

4175 is probably the most underrated carburetor holley makes. I ran one of the double pumpers for years. Great carb!
