Secondaries on Holley 13B - Newbie Warning -
Guys,
Just got an 85 FB from FL shipped to Santiago, Chile.
Am a big rotary fan but this is my first carburated RE and am kind of lost on a couple of settings. All I know about the car is an Running Car / 85 FB / Fresh Rebuilt 13B (not sure about porting) / and a Holley 1850-15 Stamped.
On high RPM I got the seat feeling it did not open the secondary throttle at the carb, so by a visual inspection I noticed there was a missing connecting rod.
I know this carb is a vacuum operated secondary, but I guess I still needed the rod so I went ahed on buying the OEM replacement part.
But my mechanic keep telling me because of the shape of this rod, the secondaries wont open until 6K maybe.
Questions
- Do I still need this rod for vacuum operated secondaries ??
- Is the right replacement part for 13B Carb ?? Is there any other trick for mechanically open the secondaries at the right RPM ??
Thanks a lot..!!
