Does anyone have experience with an 885 coupled to a VS57 McCulloch?
I have a 276ci Flathead which I want to use it on. Also looking for a source of Throttle shaft and power valves. Thanks D

I don't have any experience with the modifications necessary to convert an 885 Holley to a pressurized carb used after the blower. As far as throttle shafts, on this forum "charlie ny" may be able to make one for you if that's what you need. As far as the brass power valve, they are not reproduced to the best of my knowledge. If you need another size, you would have to carefully drill the existing hole in your power valve to a lager size. If the hole is already too big, then you would have to plug it, and carefully drill the opposite side with the size you want. You can't use solder to plug the hole, since the heat will destroy the small spring inside.
