I'm a little disappointed.
I thought that would make for some fun discussion.

Itey would just say put a quadrajet on it, and patriot would say a dominator will fix the issue, and compnut would say an ls doesn't even need a carb to make power, and Mike would suggest efi

There, glad we talked about it!

 

[89 Fox 427]

When's dyno day?

Their dyno is down. New everything so they can tune their 10,000hp pro mod on it. Must be nice.

 

[Steve439]

If the guy going to tune the carb for the street or on a dyno?

 

[CompNut]

Their dyno is down. New everything so they can tune their 10,000hp pro mod on it. Must be nice.

So are they going to want to put a puny 427W on it when they get the new set up?

 

[Low & slow]

Stick that fucker in the car , and go burn some rubber

I don't know how this works. Seat the rings, get the idle right, get it jetted for wot maybe?

 

[Steve439]

Yeah, if the dyno guy is setting the carb it'll be for WOT, unless he offers some service I don't know about.

That won't work for a street car.
It's OK, we'll have a lot of fun with it.
I know a little about Holley tuning; itey and other guys know a lot.
And it's pretty sure you won't run into a lot of problems; Holley carbs are pretty straightforward.
The calibrations from the factory can be a mess, but that's all fixable.

Most complaints are carbs being pig rich out of the box.

Very much unlikely in my case

Over an hour trying to install the pushrod guide plates. What am I doing wrong. the fuckin things move every time you try to torque the studs. Gotta be an easier fuckin way, these are retarded

Dominator on a dual plane? It makes more power according to this youtube guy.

I know a washer isn't typically used under the rocker studs, but if you have the room it might keep the plates from moving. I've got a selection of super thin AN washers I use on some stuff.
