| Post subject: | Holley 4 barrels-What jetting do you run |
I just installed my holley 450cfm/offy. intake on pretty much a stock motor.(I know overkill but once Iam done with engine should be fine).Planning on not "building" the engine until middle of summer so I will be a little over carb'd. for a bit. Iam in the middle of changing my acc. pump cam, power valve and jets. Just trying to get a general idea where to start with jetting..Iam located in San diego (sea level, low humidity and generally 60 to 90 degrees F.) so pretty much ideal conditions.I will be running the "pink" acc. pump cam and not sure but I think the 9.0 power valve. Any and all suggestion appreciated. Thanks |

What car is this going into? What list number holley (1848?) If it's a 4150/60 list-1848 450 cfm holley... I'd do your upgrades (but your pink cam is a bit big for stock)... I would swap the secondary spring for plain (or brown/black, that will prevent overfeeding the stock engine, and keep the secondaries closed and let you tune for mileage, and tune your primaries). Try the stock jets first, then read the plugs to see if it's lean (I started with the 57's in my 1848, and had to bump it up to a pair of 60's... but I'm running a bit more than stock)... -D.Idiot |

Thanks for the starting points. Its a 4160/chokeless/mechanical secondaries Part #9776. The car is a 64 Dart.I have ran the motor but unable to drive it due to I'm still building the throttle linkage. Already my plugs are looking way rich. Thanks agian Jason |

So this weekend I was able to drive the old dart again.I pull a throttle pedal off a mid 70's car and ran the cable off that. I ended up going with the white acc. pump, 6.5 power valve and 59 jets. The car has alot better throttle response and idles smoother. When the secondaries come in its a little too much but I picked up about 300 rpms on my WOT shifts. Very happy cant wait to drive it to work tomarrow  Thanks for everyone input.

I think your PV is low for a stock engine and your jet is to big. |

The 'stock' PV would have been 8.5 and the stock primaries are 58's... depending on his altitude and his temperature, he is 'close'...(also his secondary metering plate has the equivalent to #70 jets in the secondaries)...-D.Idiot |

I hope to get my new exhaust made soon which will include a single wire o2 sensor so then their will be no guessing. I like to tune carbs. with some sort of air/fuel metering but just dont have one yet. |
