get the RB manifold.

a friend of mine had a Holley bolted to his stock manifold via an adapter many years ago, but i don't know who made it.

The manifold is where most of the power is made. You'd probably do well to fit a Nikki carb on a Holley manifold rather than go the other way around.

Racing Beat currently is not selling Holley kits because Holley discontinued the model that they modify. You can still buy manifolds, if you have a Racing Beat modified carburetor. I would not try running a generic Holley unless you are well-versed in modifying the idle feed restriction circuits and air bleeds. Or if you want to jump in the deep end and GET well-versed, I suppose

I had plans to buy a small Quick Fuel carb, which has replaceable jets for the idle feeds and the air bleeds and even the feed holes for the emulsion wells, but then I found a Lake Cities sidedraft manifold, which looks like it flows a lot better than the Atkins version. (It's an inch longer) That and the 48 DHLA that I already have are like the easy button instead of buying a $600 carb and a $400 manifold and trying to figure out how to fit a decent sized air cleaner that will clear the thermostat housing.

ive got an RB holley manifold drilled for a Nikki, and i think the whole setup is too tall to fit the car? it might fit in an Rx2/3/4/5/repu

RB is on delay with some manifolds right now. I just ordered a '74-78 13B Street Port Holley intake (part 16478) and they said 10-12 weeks lead time. I have a Weber IDA ready to go on now but would like a 4bbl manifold in case I want to go back to that.

I have a rb 13b intake for the Holley,I also have the carb but it needs rebuilt and not sure if its a modified one for Rotaries? I either need a good set up Holley carb or trade that intake and Holley and money for a Weber set up?


let me know Curtis 253 651 1721
