| Re: tune a 750 holley 4160 to save fuel Fuel efficiency has nothing to do with the tune unless the carb is poorly out of adjustment. A properly tuned carb will give a required 14.7:1 air fuel ratio while driving to a roughly 12:1 rich WOT. Reading the plugs or using an O2 sensor is about the only way to know how well the carb is tuned. You can also have the emissions tested to fine tune the carb. The squirter and pump cam give an extra shot of fuel when the butterflies open to compensate the lean transition. Too much or too little fuel and the engine will bog.
Randomly changing things can usually make things worse.
Not all carbs are the same. You can take all the 750 carb models available and get different performance or economy results with each. Some carb models get better mileage than others.
