Problems with Holley 750 main body
I'm having issues with my 750HP main body and was hoping somebody could help. I put it on my 650 double pumper, and it picked up noticable power, but the car leaves a smoke screen of unburnt fuel when I get into the secondaries. I bought it about 2 years ago and have taken it on and off of the car several times because of this.
I followed the instructions, used the jets it came with, tried rejetting but it didn't help. It runs fine when I have the stock 650 body on but it leaves a HUGE thick cloud of smoke when at wide open throttle. My girlfriend was about 30 feet behind be on the highway one time, and when I floored it I lost sight of her in my rear view mirror. That's how bad it is.
The car in question is an 87 Trans Am with a 350. It's about 10:1 with Vortec heads, Lunati Voodoo 268 cam with 1.6 roller rockers, Weiand Stealth manifold, HEI, MSD, Hooker 2055's and catback, T5 with 3.73's. It also has a Holley "blue" fuel pump and a Mallory regulator set at 6 psi.
Any ideas or suggestions?

yea I'd make a pull at the top of 3rd, shut it off instantly, coast to a stop and pull a plug. I'm guessing the secondaries are too rich, try jetting down.

I'm running 36 total advance. And I know exactly what you mean about the fuel washing out the rings. Right now the 650 main body is on there, and the 750 is just an expensive paperweight.

Re: Problems with Holley 750 main body
Will it run at 38 or 40* timing? You might try advancing the timing and see it that helps. Also hows the gap on your plugs?
