Holley - Vacuum Secondary Square Bore
Before you buy a carburetor, please check that you are buying the correct size. Most carbs’ are sized by how many cubic feet of air per minute, will pass through the venturies. Carburetors will function better if they are mounted parallel to the road, river, sea etc. Be sure your fuel tank is clean, and does not contain any rust or contamination. Fit a new fuel filter in the fuel line, prior to the carburetor. Check before you go out on the road, that your fuel pump is supplying fuel at the right pressure- 5.5-6psi. Check your vacuum advance is connected to the correct port. which is on the side of the primary metering block, NOT under the front bowl! Side hung floats can shut the fuel off when used for Circuit Racing in long corners with high “g” force, centre hung floats will not cause this problem. Vacuum secondary carbs, are best for road cars & can also be used for Circuit Racing, if correctly tuned. Double pumpers are not good on the Street, as you can overfuel your engine & cause very rapid wear & severe engine damage. They are commonly used for Drag Racing. Various books & a DVD are available, to help you set up your Carb correctly. AFR gauges with wide band oxygen sensors are also available, to make tuning a “breeze”. Holley list or I.D. numbers are quoted for each carb, to help in identification. Power valve selection- primary- as a rough guide, check manifold vacuum at idle, and divide by 2. This gives the approximate power valve size. Power valves do not operate until the main system is operational. This is “generally” above 2000rpm.
