replaced my stock quad jet and manifold with holly 600 manual choke and a street dominator. having trouble with the transition. anyone out there done a similar change? how did you do? throttle linkage and manual choke giving me trouble, cant get it started as of now.

 

Many people have done it, at least something similar.

Holley makes some studs to mount the throttle cable. You can search for them on www.summitracing.com , for instance.

What did you do about the distributor? Unless this is a Canadian car, it will have to change (unless you want to do some creative PROM tuning).

 

?????? i didnt know anything would have to change. im going to have to search around and see what your talking about.

 

If you switch to a non-cc carb, you need a non-cc distibutor.

 

it is part number HLY-20-95 on summitracing.com

it is what i used to hook up my throttle cable and TV cable on my holley

the throttle goes in the top one and the TV goes in the bottom....and it bolts right up to the base plate on your holley carb..... hopefully this helps....

 

your car will run on the CC distributor...but not well....i had my stock carb and distributor on my vortec motor for a couple months before i had all of the parts to do the swap....

 

yes i have already installed one. im waiting on the nut that holds the kickdown on the throttle.

the vacuum that come out of the rear right side of the carb, where the EGR is mounted on the manifold. is that where the power brake vacuum hose goes?

sorry if this sounds stupid, first time to do any big changes on my own.

 

Brake booster TYPICALLY goes here:

 

thank you

 

any tips on a decent priced carb? i had no idea i would need to change it right away.

 

What's wrong with the one you just put on?

 

Did you mean distributor?

Summit has a new HEI for something like $140-150. You can get used for less. I'd recommend new, since it will have a good coil & module.

 

oops sorry, typo

 

That's not a typo, that's a brain fart.

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...6&autoview=sku The black cap versions have aluminum terminals, red & blue have brass.

 

thanks for the link, whats the difference in using aluminum or brass???

 

Brass tends to work better and last longer.

 

thanks five.

 

I actually have my brake vacuum line hooked under the back of my carb, and that hole in the intake is on my PCV valve?? Hope i'm not causing any problems by hooking it up that way?

 

your not causing any problems running it that way cuz mine is hooked up the same way and it runs fine

 

i think im just going to run my pcv off the carb and the brakes off the intakes.

 

this is the problem that i am having. where ive been shown to put my booster vacuum is the same spot i put this other vacuum. Does anybody know what this vacuum is?
