im about to install my holley on my car and i was wondering if i need to do anything special to my car. like do i need to remove the rats nest throught the turtial way or what? i did not buy the kit because i already had a RB holley and i bought all that i could and i was wonder if there where any special parts i could not buy through them without the kit?

 

Yes, rats nest can go, along with the air pump and cat if you want.

You will need an aftermarket fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. The Holley needs about 6 psi for fuel. Is this the RB modded Holley, or an off the shelf one?

Where in MO are you?

 

this is the racing beat modded one and i have a fuel pump and im in Excelsior springs and i have racing beat header and stuff. but the racing beat guy told me i would need something about a oil pump thingy idk i was kinda mad at him cuz he really didnt know what and rx-7 was.

 

Definately get an aftermarket pump. I do not know how my old Holley setup worked as well as it did with the stock pump but it did. Once I upgraded my pump I noticed more power and less fuel economy LOL! I would highly recommend the off the shelf pumps they sell at Napa. The in-line centrifugal type one that is rated from 6-8 PSI I think it was. Costed $50 and was very quiet also (almost as silent as the stock pump).
If you got the RB Holley manifold and the carb then install is pretty easy. Remove rat's nest, cap off return line, hook up brake booster line, throttle bracker, etc. I am not sure what you will be doing for the OMP. I made a fitting and T'd the OMP lines into the primary bowl via the float bowl sight screw. You can pre-mix also and just block off the OMP (1oz 2 stroke per gallon so like 16oz 2 stroke for a complete fill up).

 

He was probably refering to the mop rod, if you don't have one, you will need to make or modify one.

I can get you set up, if you want to bring the car up to St Joe, PM me if you're interested.

 

Excelsior Springs. I live off highway 92 near Kearney. If you need any help let me know.

 

the omp is easy to hook up and u might need to slightly rebend the metering rod to work with the holley. not sure what all the kit comes with other than the bracket for the throttle cable and spring. if it doesn't come with something for the omp lines, get a 1/16 NPT nipple. it will thread right into the sight plug on the primary fuel bowl. get a vac "T" from an auto parts store that is in the shape of an "F" that is simular in size as the oil lines on the omp. this F shaped vac T will be placed upside down at the omp. two short pieces of hose between the F and the omp. what this does is convert the two oil lines into one, which will be connected to the 1/16 NPT fitting u threaded into the primary bowl. hope u can follow this and much luck to ya.

as in previous post, the holley needs 6psi fuel pressure. anything over that will work but u will also need a pressure regulator to go with it. a GSL-SE pump would probably work along with a fuel pressure regulator.
