Found some Holley Basic Instructions

Well i know my carb is all messed up from not knowing what i was doing, so i was searching the web trying to find some instructions that would start from the beginning. I found this website on the basic tune of a carb and thought i would share it. it all looks good to me and i plan on following these this week, cant hurt any. well the website http://www.junkyardgenius.com/holley/tune01.html

hope this helps some one out. ill try it and let you know if it did any good in a couple days. robert

Sounds like the right direction. Good luck with it. I am curious to know if you get it right.

yeah i know i have pretty much screwed around with everything on it trying to find the problem but the more i read about the carb the more i feel like i have just dug my hole deeper and deeper so hopfully this will get me back to the right starting places. if any one looks at the website i posted and sees anything that is incorrect let me know. i did not write it up i am just going to try and follow it so if there is anything wrong id like to catch it early. thanks robert

what is it doing? are you bucking? not getting enough fuel under load....? that site doesn't show you the tuning process on a rotary setup. actually it's only telling you the basic of the basics to get up to the "tuning" part

if this is an off the shelf holley you may need to bust out the wire gauge drill bits. ahaha
