Re: Help! My Holley 4000 doesn't suck!

I replaced the vacuum advance diaphragm and it seems to be running worse. Won't idle for more than a few seconds, stumbles hard coming off the idle circuit, etc. What do I need to re-adjust now...

Re: Help! My Holley 4000 doesn't suck!

Finally got my hands on some tools and did some diagnostics on my situation. Threw a timing light on it and sure enough the timing isn't advancing at all under any throttle load. I put a vacuum...

Re: Help! My Holley 4000 doesn't suck!

Re: carb. rebuilder

I just got a carb from Sal today and I have to say it's top-notch. Looks brand new and fired right up once installed. He's earned my business in the future.

Re: Is this the right carb for my '55 T-Bird?

Is this the right carb for my '55 T-Bird?
