power valve question Holley 94
I have two power valves, One is marked 14 and the other is marked 10 on the edge. what do those numbers mean? Which one should I use for a single carb stock holley on a 59 engine?

I am not familiar with either of those designations. If they both came from standard rebuild kits, either should work ok if they seal to the body correctly.

Re: power valve question Holley 94
Neither one is correct Never heard of a #14 and the #10 is also opens too quick. Use a 5.5 # in that 94. I have them. also use .049 main jets. ken ct. I dont know where you ever got a kit with those 3's in it must be a China job. [you get what you pay for] ken ct.

Re: power valve question Holley 94
Those power valves were removed (used) from the two carbs I have here. I was mostly trying to understand the numbering system. The numbers are very small on the edge of the top surface of the power valve. Is that where they are usually marked?

Re: power valve question Holley 94
The identification marking locations can vary by manufacturer. The numbers on your valves are not consistent with vacuum rating numbers and must be a code of some sort. The only way to actually "know" the rating is to pull a vacuum in a gaged chamber. I can do that for you but it ain't worth the shipping costs. The valves, if not ruptured, are likely to be just fine as to vacuum opening point.

Re: power valve question Holley 94
For some reason there was a period of time or a manufacture that used a double number on the valves ( got that in a holley book here somewhere) .
I think you will find that the 14 is a 7 inch valve and the 10 is a 5 inch valve...... |

Re: power valve question Holley 94
Bubba, That makes sense, Thank you, Seems like I read somewhere you could check if a power valve is blown by suckin on it somehow, Is that true?

Re: power valve question Holley 94
Yea that will check if the diafram is leaking but will not tell you the # of it.The higher the # the faster it will open and dump massive fuel into the system. {not good}.Best all round # is a 5.5. Most China kits have a 7.5 [too high]. Most have 's on them if you know how to read them. High #'s have a fairly strong spring on them.Low #'s have a lighter one on them.Dual setups can use 4.5 or even 2 3.5 ones. Get your self a 5.5 and you will be a happy camper and .049 M jets. ken ct.
