You'll Need To Make Up A Bracket To Hold The Accel Cable, But Other Than That, Theres Not Much Else You'll Need... To Install, Its Fairly Straight Forward...

can i buy these brackets? or do i have 2 make one

[atrail308]

may be able to buy it, but pretty easy to make, either fabricate an old one to fit or start from scratch, just work out where your cable need to be held, then go from there...

[bigg_vin]

dont forget to put gaskets or gasket glue on the adapter plate and carby and manifold.

[atrail308]

you can go without the glue on the carb and adapter plate, i've always fitted them dry and never had a problem...

[Dan355]

I would smear a small amount of glue on the gasket surfaces. When i did mine i had to get a v8 cable as the 6 was couple inches too short but i was using an after market manifold. You can buy the brackets for about $15 Redline are the only company iv seen that make the brackets im pretty sure their the only ones that make the adapter plates to. If you need a hand let me know. Iv done it a few times now. Its pretty straight forward but it might take a while to get it running the way you want.

yeh i think i need a v8 cable do you know what they are worth? and how do i go about finding the redline bracket? you reckon out laws in town might have one?

Putting a holley on the stock manifold with an adaptor plate doesn't acheive much except worse fuel economy. The horrible old stromberg is actually capable of reasonable power levels but the air-cleaners are hopeless and they're stiffled by pollution controls. I would just fit a better air-cleaner and block off all the polution control hoses , block off the manifold heater lines
and fit a nice big 'Holley equipped' sticker on the back window.
If you do fit the holley I would still block off the heater lines to the manifold.

does any one know were i can get the redline bracket?

[atrail308]

try outlaws or pro action, if niether of those have it, you may end up having to make one, which im sure a lot of people have done...
Like 5Litre said, your prob better off stickin with the std 2bbl rochy (strommies stopped on the VB)...

My car ran fine with the 350 holley but it is very important to get the carb built/tuned for a six. Nearly everyone i talk to just wack them on and adjust the mixtures. Now thats why people are against the whole holley conversion because they have no clue. Any speedshop or carb specialist will have the bracket. I have one here but im keeping it A redline torker11 manifold would be a good idea though. That would enable you to lose most of those vacume hoses. Looks alot better to.

is there any benifit in using all of the vacum hoses?

[atrail308]

is there any benifit in using all of the vacum hoses?

No, they're just for emissions, i've got one on my whole engine...

[Dan355]

Yea its just for emissions. I think you only need the booster vacume, pcv (i think thats what it called)....the hose from rocker cover to inlet manifold, with the valve. And all hoses to and from carbon canister. I passed regency with just that but that was with a blue motor in a vh.
