    Stumped and Frustrated with a Holley 670 Hesitation

    What's your vacuum at idle? Your power valve is a 6.5 you say. Your PV should be roughly 1/2 your vac gauge number. ie if your vac gauge is reading 13 inches then a 6.5 PV is about right. Something just to check that's easy/quick. Also an easy thing to check is if your PV is blown out. Turn your...

    e85 for the street?

    I would only offer this. E85 is ethanol, which wears and degrades thinks like rubber fuel line much faster. I've also heard it's harder on things like fuel pumps and such. The real benefit is being able to run higher compression on the street and buying fuel at the pump. For your car I'd say...

    750 streetdemon

    They are nice. Had the 600 on my stock 360 for awhile when they came out and loved it. Nice throttle response and real user friendly. I've since switch to the tried and true Holley 750 DP for my hotter motor

    Thoughts on Fuel Line Size

    Go 3/8" or -6 all the way. When I did my Duster, my buddy bent up a new 3/8" hardline from tank to pump, then I went black -6 braided pump to carb with an Earls inline filter. Also, just watch for your fuel pump inlet/outlet size too. Alot of the stock type replacement pumps are 1/4" NPT! I...

    who is the Edelbrock carb guru on FABO

    Oh man these are about as easy as it gets. You don't need an A/F gauge unless your really wanting to tune it precisely ie- race motor, optimum performance etc....and if your doing that your not using any Eddy carb! But if it's your thing then by all means it's the best tool. That being said...

    Well went with this one....Quick Fuel 750 Slayer! So far real nice! Nice improvement over the 625cfm Street Demon. Easy to get into sharp tune as well. Idle mixture/secondary etc. more vacuum too than with the Demon, not that it really matters to me. Pretty happy overall. Still would love to try...

    need more throttle travel

    Just FYI. 20-67 is the stud you want for Chrysler application. 20-36 is the Generic Motors part....

    No prob! Thanks for the vote! Have heard mixed comments on the SA's. But the positive comments are very much so....no middle ground. I'd like to try one.

    Help me pick a carb!`

    Not worried about mileage at all...this is my fun car. I burn as much baby seal blood and orphan tears I can get my oily hands on. I get 20mpg in the Mountaineer when I feel like conserving dinosaur bones. LOL When I plant the right foot to the floor I'd think a 750 DP would open up the fuel...

    LOL...nope. Had my fun with them. They are a decent carb but I'm not going there.:D Thanks for weighing in Rob! That's a good plan w/ a 3310...didnt think about the jet conversion etc and all the goodies that are avail for the Holleys to make 'em nice to tune on. ...and dont ya think a 750 DP...

    Help me pick a carb!`

    Been told by a few people that it is truly an old stand by. I've not ever run one myself, but price wise, it's a tempting one and a proven piece. I just like the features some of the comparables have too!

    Help me pick a carb!`

    Well I was close! Then got to thinking and looking at all the options....also realizing I really want to spend more time at the track and I rarely go on any trips in the 30mi plus range, but I do occasionally. So...thus the waffling! I agree with the annular boosters, and wet-flow vs...

    Sorry...not that computer savvy! Or I forgot about the poll option...I plead the 5th. Like the ProForm option....little more than I'd like to spend but tempting. Also not completely thrilled with the idea of running a mech secondary carb....I do mostly street cruising but I do like to take it...

    Help me pick a carb!`

    Yea I know...can of worms! I've actually had 2 Demons...older 650 Speed Demon DP which ran good, but was RICH as all heck! Then the new Street Demon which was a really nice carb all the way around...not a race carb at all but a real good street carb as adverstised. Interesting you say this...

    Ok, here we go. Please help me decide between these carbs listed below. Please refrain from offering any other models/types if you can. I'd like to stick to this list below! Background: Sold my 625cfm Street Demon which was a GREAT carb. Ran great on my stock low compression late 70's truck...

    Street Demon Carburetor

    Interesting....I'll have to look at mine again and see what I did. Maybe I'll post a picture of my set-up? Can you show me yours?

    Street Demon Carburetor

    :scratch: Mine connected lickety split? If i recall I did have to tweak a little mounting bracket to play nice between the carb and my throttle cable but it was no biggie. Not following you? Are you referring to kickdown linkage? Of which I never run (manual valve body) so maybe thats it?

    Street Demon Carburetor

    Yea, I've heard from a couple other guys that they run lean....that's why I bought the tuning kit. Mine was fine on the stock 360....but with the higher compression, Air-Gap, and big cam it's lean. I know that's one reason they came out with a 750cfm version cause guys were asking for something...

    Street Demon Carburetor

    I bought the 625cfm version for the Duster shortly after they came out about year ago now. Worked awesome on the stock 360 and its on my new mildly modded 360 now too. Super cold starting and hot with the polymer fuel bowl (now boiling like the old Eddy did) and very crisp throttle response...

    carb loading up

    My bet is the floats are off....every Eddy I've ever used was off out of the box to some degree. It's the first thing to adjust IMO. Sounds like a classic float issue to me...and any easy thing to rule out.

    Electric fuel pump question?????????

    Edelbrock makes a Quiet-Flo pump in 2 sizes. Street and a more strip one...no experience good/bad with them though. Was thinking of trying one too.

    Can;t get gas up to carb

    Check your pick-up? Maybe theres something in the sock clogging it up? Hard to believe though if it's brand new...but stranger things have happened.

    True, I guess I just assumed if you upgrade to a 3/8" sender you'd run new 3/8" line to while your at it...

    what size sending unit?

    Stock size would be a 5/16" unit. But a 3/8" would be an upgrade...especially if you go up in motor at some point. You can get 1/2" too...but it's more expensive and not needed unless your really pushing 600hp +... You can get them online. I got mine from Quanta products...but Vans Auto has...

    Looking for a good OEM-ish fuel pump

    NAPA...bought one there awhile ago. OEM replacement style. I think it was in the $20-30 range. If your not concerned w/ being an exact OEM replacement it would work. 5/16" fittings on it too for stock line.

    PCV breathers for my engine???

    No need for 2! Unless your running a race scavenging system w/ breather and hose welded into the pipes....for a street car system, 1 regular PCV should be fine....and it doesnt really matter what you choose, as long as it's one you like and fits your build...

    electric pump.

    Sounds like it's either partially plugged w/ crud either at the pump or filter...or starting to fail on you. Have you checked your filter for contaminents? I've got one on my Scamp and I'm waiting for the new Aerospace pump to come avail. from Don @ FBO and I'm switching asap...I just dont...
