Ran fine the first time out. Took it out sun. and it started to do it. Run great once I get going.
Holley carbs can be finicky to set up. I for one am not a big fan of Holley's for the street. I've had a few Holley carbs throughout the years. They worked great for on the track, but were to temperamental for my likings on the street.
What model/cfm Holley are you running?
What do you think of Quick Fuel carbs? Seems like they took a Holley and applied today's technology to it.
Gary, I can't speak from experience with Quick Fuel carbs. Never dealt with one.
During one of our Annual Gatherings in Bowling Green we were given a tour of Holley, I wasn't impressed with the equipment for manufacturing at the time. They had just acquired a state of the art CNC machine for manufacturing. Prior to that some of the equipment looked like Army surplus. I'm sure companies like Quick Fuel take more time and care to work out design flaws and such therefore producing a quality carb.
The only luck I had with carbs were the much hated and maligned Rochester Q-jet. Those I know for fact when properly setup they offer both good street-ability and performance.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Holley, but from past experience with them, I spent too much time under the hood tweaking every darn adjustment possible to get it to run consistent.
