Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

j par said

On a Edelbrock I've always check the float levels but they've always been perfect on everyone ever touched. Guess I just got lucky. Also I've never been in any kind of race to do anything on a carburetor so being able to do it real fast doesn't help me any...


You do realize all your precise tuning is lost as soon as the barometric pressure changes from the time you tuned it and also anytime you go to a different elevation?

If your suggestions are going to be spend $2, 000 on two thousand-dollar Hollies then yes please keep your suggestions, smart move..


No duh....

Agreed.


LOL I look who cometh forward with the most comments LOL... FISH ON!!

To the "you lose your precision tune when the barometric pressure changes" is dead wrong. Dead wrong.

The carb is a pressure differential reading device. As the bars changes, so does the pressure on the bowl vents. As the pressure goes up, the differential across the booster changes and will fatten up the circuit to compensate.

Same when the bars drops. Less pressure across the vents. When that pressure drops, so does the push on the fuel in the bowl.

Greg Anderson told me in the Woodburn pits they didn't change a jet between Denver, Sonoma, Woodburn or Seattle. They did change some air bleeds and emulsion. And that's about all I could get out of him that day.
