what kind of things need to be done to a holley carb to work on my FB?
i got the carb, i got the intake, i've seen the adapter for the throttle cable, my truck has one... anything else need to be done to it? its a 4160 series 1850 i think casting... i don't got it sitting in front of me right now... its a 600cfm 4 barrel... someone said something about mods racing beat does... dunno
first off, is ur fb an se or not? with the non-se, u'll need to combine the oil lines off the omp into one for connection to the carb's primary float bowl, unless ur going to premix. i use one of those "F" style plastic vaccumm connectors turned upside down at the omp, 2 short lines off the omp, then one line up to the carb, and since ur's isn't from rb, u'll also need a nipple type fitting to screw into the primary float bowl where the screw for checking float level. someone here or u could check with rb for the right jets that u should use in it. the 600cfm from rb i'm running is for sp engine so even if i knew what jets r in it, the would probably be too rich for ur application. good luck.
