I got a Holly 4 barrel list # 1850-3. I dont know much about it. Anyone got some info on it?

 

4160 600 CFM, vacuum secondary, fixed jet metering plate, manual choke

 

Is this a performance carb? how much would you say it's worth and what's the best application for it?

 

I believe its just an ordinary 600 holly. One of their cheaper models.

 

A friend gave it to me for free so I dont know much about it. So far I've just cleaned it up (note: pics taken before thorough cleaning). I got a Holly rebuild kit and I'm gonna finish it up this weekend. I'm lookin to get about $100 bucks for it.

 

That's basically Holley's generic universal entry-level cheeeeeepest possible performance carb.

You paid roughly what they usually go for on the open market; don't expect to make much bank off of it.

 

Yah, might find someone on creigs list who will sucker for it though. anything above $32 is a profit. That's wht I payed for the rebuild kit and Carburetor cleaner

 

With a freshly rebuilt 1805-3 what can I expect compared to the stock quadrajet on a stock 305/700r4 will it wake it up or just rebuild the quadrajet

 

Just rebuild the qjet

 

The Q-jet is not a bad carb, once you understand them. Take your time to build it, and make sure to use epoxy on the welch plugs, then you'll be fine.
