Holley Carb Secrets... Get the most out of your Holley!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We look into the Holley Carb and I talk about the different circuits and how they affect the fuel curve on your engine! I include many of my dyno tests and real world experiences that i have learned over the years that has shaped my understanding of the Holley Carb design This is a part 1 of 2 because there are alot of things to talk about regarding these Holley "Secrets" I hope you get something out of this and stay tuned for part 2 which will be coming up!

    Lol nice, your video has the same name as my holley play list. When I was starting out, I watched a lot of your older carb videos and they really helped me understand Holleys. Now I build 100% tunable carbs for myself and know more than pretty much any "old timer" at any car show 👌

I know some of the stuff in this video was covered in my older stuff.. but I wanted to include some of my Dyno and track testing from years back... Part 2 goes into things I've never talked about.. Thanks again for Watching! Andy

    I love Holley carbs, but it is easy for me to dial in and like my guitars tune for atmospheric changes. My wife and son only complain about how finicky they are. I have to admit that a well set up AFB 800 Edelbrock is easier for them to live with.

    On an engine that's making good idle vacuum, ya know, more of a daily driver type, the IFR wire trick actually covers the transfer slot tuning too, and works best if the wire is sized to the transfer slot requirements. This is because the vacuum at idle and cruise on a stocker are much closer together than something cammed that only makes vacuum at cruise, which really negates the need for a separate circuit. Usually the idle circuit still has plenty of fuel left to do what it needs to do. I know your content is more racing oriented, but this could definitely still be relevant to lots of your viewers And don't think I'm trying to just smartass you here, you're actually the guy who turned me on to this idea in the first place! I just took what I learned from your channel and applied it to something much, much more mild than Casper. The end results I got out of my Holley outshined the Q-Jet it replaced in every single way. Economy, power, burnouts, you name it... These carbs can be made to work as good as any other in a daily with enough patience and attention, and you're one of the folks I have to thank for guiding me to that point. Thank you for the knowledge my man (And to those of you still reading this far down in this now embarrassingly long comment, if you wish to try the IFR wire trick, electric guitar strings are the absolute best for this. Precisely measured single strand wire available in .008" in diameter and up in .001" increments. Seriously can't beat it for hardcore precision tuning on a daily)

I couldn’t get rid of a stumble using my straight leg 600 or my down leg 750 after going to the air gap. I tried tuning the transfer slots, I tried everything!

I ran double pumpers on the street when young and just re jetted , changed and adjusted accelerator pump cams etc and got them to work nice . I was too stupid to know I should’ve failed at it .

    Hello James, I do not think you were stupid, just a little lack of knowledge. That can be a good thing IMO. A lot of guys/gals won't even try to get a project done because they are afraid of failure and think I can't do that, it is too hard or complicated. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss and that is how you learn.

    Thanks Andy! Great tuning info. All carbs have to be dialed and the knowledge out there is really getting better. Carbs make more power than injectors because they have more time for the fuel to pull the heat out of the air. Injecting at the intake ports leaves no time for the fuel to cool the charge air. Pro Stocks run the injectors way up on the intake. That's how they finally got injection to match carbs in Pro Stock. Pro Stock is the most finely optimized racing engines on earth. Even more so than Formula 1 considering the limitations 500 cubic inch pushrod platform. I've been pirating knowledge from those guys in interviews etc, reading between the lines with Warren Johnson interviews etc. I just found out about DV last year, a real genius!

    l glad you brought this up as I have experienced some of this . I was at the finals at San Antonio years ago running a 68 Camaro power glide with a 427 and a 9 inch . I took the 1050 off it and carried it to the holly tech booth . He removed the float bowels and installed new gasket adjusted the floats and installed 2.5 power valves . That the only size he had . I never for got . Later on I took my 302 that had a lot of cam and a decent heads off a g gas car that had set the record once and installed it in a econ rail with a power glide . Sure enough it ran rich at idle in gear . I drilled the holes in the throttle plate and installed the wire in the mettering plate as you suggested and the 2.5 power valve . I ran reo pumps and I used the trial and error on the nozzles . That fixed the idle problem . I talked to T Willy at isky and he said I could use less cam as I was running a 600 isky roller . That was a long time ago . If I had it to do over I use a ls and a lot more cubic inches . Thanks for the videos

I've gone through the red book and half way through DV's book. I will say that watching these videos is really helping to put the rubber on the road. I'm a kinesthetic learner, so the more hands on I get the more it will make sense. For not it's a virtual hands, but I'm looking for good junk carb to take apart and mess with to help with that learning process. Trouble is people want too much. I'd love to find someone that has a cracked carb with warn out shafts and give then $50 for it so I can play and learn. It's the details. How to remove the transfer slot restricture and how far in do you drill? Obviously it is not all the way though, so there must be some measurement that needs to be learned or communicated.

    Something I learned recently is they make a throttle shaft bushing tool kit to repair worn throttle shafts. It comes with the drill bit and a brass sleeve, and it looks super easy to use. I'm going to fix my vacuum secondary spread bore 750 demon. And if it works good it will save a buttload of old carbs

Without r replacing shafts, and associated issues like getting brass screws out of butterflys. Usually I get them when people have tried to replace shaft and of course it's bent coz of a hammer on the end of a screw driver. Sigh usually those carbs arrive on Friday afternoon 🤔🙄😏🙂

Let me know what you recommend for carburator pair, and cam so I can get you some money rounded up and send it your way. That way when you do get or find the right thing you are able to act on it.

Also didn't know they actually pulsed! If you put this together on DVD or something, showing the different systems, and mild to wild carbs....I WOULD BUY IT. Hey you know DV, package it up, i'll buy it.

And how easy is it to change the boosters?

    A 2 part white epoxy called Marine Tex works great on carb issues . its heat and cold proof and with stood a 48 hour test submerged in gasoline. I found it works great for re-gluing the fuel caps back on under the plastic body on thermoquad carbs . I bought it on amazon . 17.00 white box with red and blue lettering . you get a white paste in a small container and a clear glass vile of clear hardner . it's even sandable get stuff .

    Love the video. It's got me thinking about the engine I'm putting together now. Mild gen 6 BBC with vortex heads so no exhaust crossover. I have both a spread bore and square bore rpm Dual plane intakes. I keep going back and forth on carbs. I have a quadrajet, 770 and 670 street avengers, 750 3310, and a old spread bore Holley all kicking around. I'm pretty familiar with Holley's and the tricks you talked about today except for the booster tuning. If I was going to go with say the 750 Holley what booster style do you think would be the best for my application? No intake heat, coldish climate, torque and mpg are more important than every last hp as it's going in a dually truck.
