ps i still have all the jets and **** here to mess around with if you need them. all you need do is find what works and buy me the 4 you use to replace them.

^ ^ ^ What a G C ^ ^ ^ :thumbsup:

Ari, I really don't like you right now, why you make things hard!!!!
We'll see what happens. I think it has a quady on it already, which prolly will be better setup than the current one, which I still haven't got perfect yet.
I actually think it may be a little lean.

^ ^ ^ What a G C ^ ^ ^ :thumbsup:

I'm assuming that's good kent, in which I agree.


Contradiction much!

Kent / Carn't
I think we are both on the same page here

even though he completely trashed the idea before offering to help with it, still a G C!

LOL i wasnt thrashing any ideas, just sharing my expierences. im not saying dont go holley, but all means loads of success stories out there, but im just saying dont think its a cure-all. they work "out of the box" yes, if you consider using tonnes of fuel and fouling plugs "working" i prefer to get an engine running well and i had loads more success with a quaddy.

but that may just be me. im all about helping where i can though, whichever way you go.

You've helped heaps.
I was thinking a Holley mainly for the fact that I want a cam that's a bit lumpy, which I may have trouble with vacuum. Which means possible mods. If it was stock, I wouldn't have considered it to start with.
But it's not for a while, so well cross that bridge when we get to it.

if the holleys using too much fuel you just need to change the size of the jets etc,i had a 302 ford with the quadrajet carby on her,had it rebuilt several times biggest piece of c..p I have ever had anything to do with,got a 600 ddp holley from a mate with a smaller power valve jet I think its called and never had a problem,no fouling of plugs or any probs due to it
just my opinion though,i am sure others would say the other way but that's my experience
cheers

Nothing special. Sounds cool though, and it's not overly loud like some I've heard.

keep your eyes on that belt. if it starts shredding the end, then youll need to make a better bracket to mount the alt. that top bolt would have way too much play for my liking.

 

[kingswood country]

I've got to make up a bracket for the front of that mount, same as stock, I just don't have one, that's a weekend job. Been meaning to for some time. Should be right once that's done, I've also got to take a spacer out from behind the alt mount to line it up a bit better. Also a weekend job when I pull it all apart again.

So, battery issue, every now and then, after a short trip, I stop the car and it won't restart, battery is dead, alt has new brushes, all connections and terminals are clean, I'm assuming the battery is knacked, would I be right, before going out and spending $150+ on a new battery.
