what do I have to do to put on the holley. I mean do I just rip off all the electrical stuff and bolt on the holley and there ya go? Or is there some kinda of somethign I have to do to make the computer think that everything is cool?

 

there is no need to have a computer for a carb. at least it wasnt for our case. we took off all of the emissions the AC and then just bolted on the edlebrock victor intake with a 750 holley.connect the throttle linkage and get a different fuel pump and you are ready to go. the car was tpi

 

You'll need a vacuum/mechanical advance distributor. If you have a stock intake manifold, you'll also need some way to adapt from spreadbore to squarebore. Most aftermarket/performance intakes have both bolt patterns (Performer, Action +, GMPP, etc.). You don't need a different fuel pump, but you may need cable linkage/bracketry and the like to mount everything up. The TH700R4 will need some way to get a TCC lockup signal, because without the carb and distributor feeding info to the computer, it won't do that for you anymore.

A properly functioning q-jet will keep up with, and perhaps even outrun, a Holley (the Holley on my '57 has yet to equal my best q-jet time). And, a CC q-jet will beat the Holley for economy (if that's a concern for you) and driveability.

Not that Holleys are all bad. My reaction times have been much better and more consistent with the Holley than with the q-jet on the '57, but I have absolutely no complaints about the CC q-jet on the Camaro.

 

well what can i do to my q-jet? Send it to jet to get it stage 3 rebuilt or soemthing? I saw this TPS enhancer in summit mag and it plugs into the tps then into the carb and its suppose to increase throttle response by 70%. O and I need to get a new secondary ahnger and needles I know that for a fact.

 

I don't think you have that many problems, from what you've described to date. Rods & hangers are basic and relatively inexpensive tuning. In your other post, you mentioned AV adjustment, which you didn't get quite right. Get yourself a q-jet book like Haynes, or Doug Roe's book "Rochester Carburetors" and bone up on how they work and what it takes to make them work better. Simple adjustments can do wonders.

I've seen those "TPS enhancers", not sure exactly what it does, nor have I heard of anyone who tried one. Sounds like a gimmic to me.
