Holley jets

[rumblefish360]

I'm looking for a tap with the Holley jet size thread. Can anybody tell me the size and thread count?
Where can I get a bottoming out tap?

Wow their sure proud of that baby at $53!! Probably since it's an oddball thread count.

Tell me about it. I'm going to look at Sears and other stores befor I cuff that up!
Sometimes you just gotta pay the piper. The freakin local carb shop stated they just would not do the work I wanted, would not sell or order me one ethier.....Weeeeeeeeeeeeell OK then.

what carb is this for?

Do you get on E-bay? If so here's one a bunch cheaper.

Sears probably has bottoming taps but I bet they won't have this one being it's an oddball thread count. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 1/4-28 is fine thread SAE so 32 threads per inch is really fine.

Fishy, I did write down the thread count. It think it's 32. (Now where did I put that paper, grrrr.)
I would require a bottoming out tap.

Redfastback, The tap is for a Holley. But thats not what it is for.

check a local machinist supply or online as well. you can probably get it cheaper. if its not for a holley, then how do you know what thread pitch you need?

 

[rumblefish360]

I called a local carb shop. (Excellent...strike that, super excellent rep.) I asked the thread count. Forgot to ask what size though. I think it's a 1/4 inch like said above. Don't know for sure though.

I didn't like the , well, maybe a harsh judging of them at that time, but curt responses I was getting from them. I'll leave it laying. Not everyone has a terrrrific day.
