Thanks thats about the same price i was looking at for the holly 750. Will sure make the rest of my motor look lik crap, Might save that till i do a rebuild this winter. I found a book thats supose to help ya doit step at a time.Cant think of a better way to learn. ( Not mechanic )

 

Great. Looks like you have a good handle on it. Holleys are great carbs too, alot of people here swear by them,although Ive heard they can be a little finicky, needing periodic adjustments. Maybe you will end up being a carb guru, you never know.

 

What book are you talking about? Id like to get a copy.

 

It was at JC Whitney, Think it was a chiltons i will look for the link later and post it have to get to work now.

 

If you can find a chiltons carb manual, HANG ON TO IT!.. Also, what are you looking to do with the car? Holly and Edelbrock are both good however, if you are looking to drag your car or something like that there are better ones out. As a generic rule, if you are looking for decent numbers and decent fuel economy go with Edelbrock, racing go with holley.
