E85 specific carb

I was wondering how long it would take.

I guess that takes care of all the guess work on modifying.
And the green looks pretty cool too.

They came out with it at least 6 months ago. After I had been modifying my Holley for over a year.

Had I simply bought that carb up front, I would have spent less than I now have modifying my Holley. But, mine runs pretty good now - the E85-specific metering blocks (from QFT) made the biggest difference (assuming jetting is correct for E85, that is).

Re: E85 specific carb

Now my only problem is that there are a total of 0 E85 stations in the great state of ALABAMA. I will have 1 place to get it around July.....they hope!!
What is a gallon of E85 going for anyway?

I saw a station in Nebraska last week selling it for $1.999, others for $2.199. I was paying $2.399 here this summer, one station was letting the price float with regular unleaded (until gas went over $3/gal).
