Has anybody had look with rebuilding a holley carb?

Model-#4175, 650 cfm, spreadbore.

this is the kit I was recommended to buy.

Just got a 86 and tuning the engine up, wanting to clean all the ports up on intake and change intake gaskets, clean carb up soak & rebuild kit, and change valve covers and gaskets.

Any suggestions, thanks in advance

they're not too hard to rebuild.

i'm not too sure that you picked out the correct rebuild kit though? i know you cant go by pics, but that looks like a kit for a 2 barrel?

maybe one of these is more correct?

Hey your right. thanks for pointing that out. Im going to order one try it out. I recently bought the car and wanted to touch everything up under the hood, im also guessing if a holley carb is on it would be a after market intake as well?

do you have any pics or part numbers? that would help identify what ya got.

i suggest buying a book on rebuilding/tuning/tricking holley carbs. most auto parts stores or book stores have them fairly cheap. write down the changes you make for future reference in the book.
theres also a good thread/sticky on here by Sofa about tuning holleys.

valvecovers are personal prefference i suppose.

are you saying that your planning on gasket matching the intake to the heads by "cleaning up the ports" ? or a suspected vacuum leak? etc?

There's a leak coming from a I
Intake gasket so going to clean everything up while I got it off
