I am guessing that all the red parts are the ones that can be taken off without causing the car to act stupid?

Awesome, Thanks Joe. I'm finally getting some time to get back on the forum. Anyhow, got any idea if the 83 GP kit will work on an 80 carb? Advance wants almost $60 for the 80s version and the 83 is $25.

Good to hear. I got the 83 kit but I have a spare carb off an 80 that came with a $25 12a I bought awhile back as a rebuild project I'll get around to some day... So yeah I figure my cars running now but since this is my first rebuild I'll just rebuild the 80 and see how that works just so I dont have to sacrifice my running carb.

Quick question. How bad is it if i cant unscrew one of the "primary slow air bleed & jet" if it matters its the one on the right side of the diagram.

Just leave it - they break easily when forced. Spray some carby cleaner down there and it will be fine.

Cool thanks. I'll probably try to bore it back out to stock size too since the top opening collapsed a little. I was starting to contemplate either couter drilling to pull it and getting a new set of jets and bleeds or just redrilling all the bores to match for holly parts since I read somewhere that sterling does that.

You don't have to drill anything. The Holley Dominator jets are so close to the Nikki threads that they screw right in. Just buy some Holley Dominator jets of whatever size you need and put them in.

Stock jetting, or maybe 95/160 for fuel if you're running a tad bit lean or running more advanced timing. That's just a small step up on the primaries.
