Carb help
I'm hoping there is someone here that is somewhat familiar with holley carbs
This Question is about the 84 camaro in my signature. On this car i have a 750cfm holley Double pumper. The car starts up great, hot or cold, will purr forever. when i put my foot in it under load it stalls and almost dies, if i force the issue it will die. if i gradually get in it, it will rev up just fine. this carb has been recently rebuilt. but i dont know alot about tuning it so i could be missing something there. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be very helpful thanks john

Re: Carb help
A 750 DP on thst engine is going to be too much carb...you'll flood it. You'd be better off with the 650 vac sec...Or for better mileage an old Rochester Q-jet.

Re: Carb help
Try hitting up Holley's website, they have some detailed troubleshooting steps.

Re: Carb help
Check for he blown power valve as Wright suggested...also check that the float isn't stuck. If it bogs like you say it is a fueling problem and 99% sure it is over fueling.
Personally I don't like Holley carbs...sure thay are "simple" but they tend to need lots of constant tinkering...A well set up Q-jet will outperform a Holley and once set up it stays there. |

Re: Carb help
