202 carb

[VH_Commodore_Wagon]

Hey Guys,
I ultimately wanted to make this into a poll but i haven't asked enough questions yet.

What Carbie are you all running on your 3.3's ?

I'm after a new carbie and dunno what way to go

Holley or another Verjet or something different?

can I get your preference and why so much more over the other ?
I dont know much about carbs

any help would be great

Most people have Varajets. Just stay with the Varajet. It's an ok carb. Stick a Holley on and you'll risk getting a canary.

I just put a kit through my carby on the weekend mate, 43 dollars from repco, dont bother going over to autobah they have jack all 202 service parts.

I just have to adjust my fuel as its flooding..

She registerd at all? might have to cruise around one night mate

[atrail308]

did you set your float level when you did your rebuild? a common cause to flooding...
but, personally, over the years of muckin round withh mates 6-pot commies, we've found there wasnt really any advantage over the stock carb...

I'm keeping my carby VH.. not many cheap webbers about and that r still in good nic.

& EFI has now become hard to find here
You could have the challenge on installing that...

Nah not registered just sittin out side at the moment bout to get put in the shed next week to be pulled apart and done up.
Dunno how long it will take to do up.

While im here again ... has anybody heard of "hooker headers" if so are they any good (not the head you get from hookers)

[NOT.BT1]

im stickin with the standard carb i had a holley on my vh for a while and found that my 202 ran smoother with the standard and there was no power gain with the holley

[nizmovk]

the only real gain from a holley is when you've had engine work done, cam etc where a std one can't feed enough fuel

[atrail308]

nah, havent heard of hooker headers, but have heard of hooker headies... lol...

Varajets i have not heard of them. i know they used the rochesta quadrajet. but mine is 5ltre not a 3.3ltre. Whats the difference between quadrajet and a varajet?

[Dan355]

Quadrajet is a four barrel carb hence the name. Varajets are just the standard dual barrel carb for the later 202's.

I had a 350 holley on my standard 202 blue had no dramas what so ever. You really need to have it built/tuned for a six. Straight from the box the holley would be a very bad choice. Stick with the standard carb untill you get some decent mods happening like cam, head work ect
