The Holley carb is leaking like a sieve...Most of the gaskets are bad,
and the throttle shaft leaks raw gas on the manifold. I figured that
Holley must be a cheap carb to have so many problems. Thats why I
inquired about the Ford carb.
After removing the Holley from the car, I also noticed that the fast idle
cam does not align with the fast idle screw...this explains why cold
starts have been such a problem. I fixed this by bending the idle screw
retainer to align properly with the cam.
The carb is a model 7448, rated at 350 cfm. Holley does make a 500 cfm 2
bbl carb, but I am not in the mood for spending $250.00 for one. I guess
its rebuild kit time for me.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
