fuel pressure to holley

so if the holley carb is supposed to get 6 psi fuel pressure to four barrells, and two barrels arent hooked up, should it get 3 psi then?

Feel free to laugh if that is a dumb question, I know.

I see. So is there an easy wasy to cut the volume in half, at least temporarily till we get the other two barrels going?

Yes 6psi would still be the correct pressure. I hope you are not running half a carb because you only have half and engine runing.

The way a Holley mounts, it feeds both rotors. He will be down on hp, but will not be running on 1/2 an engine.

Keep the psi and flow as it is. If you have a good fpr, it won't make any difference.
