You should really stick to the imports and let the big boys talk about carburetors.
Judging by your comment, you dont seem to have the slightest clue what a carburetor is, what it does, how it works, or what its purpose is.

You made another comment in another thread that I read. You told the OP that his torq converter must be bad or his transmission needed to be rebuilt. Yet you failed to explain how you came upon that determination and what information you based it on. I'm of the opinion that basically you have no clue,.. it just sounded good so you typed it up.

This is Ford Tech.
Here in Ford Tech we pride ourselves on proper, informative and useful information. Above all else,.. CORRECT information, particularly when it concerns technical information. IE: Helping someone with a problem.

You just told this person that they need to replace their carb unless they want to adjust it every month? Holley carbs are the most prolific carbs on this planet. They do not need constant adjustment.

Then you stated your father had a Holley carb in his 86 Corvette. You do realize that 86 Corvettes had L98 motors in them correct? I'll give you a hint. They were not carb'd.

Then you go on to state how he had a custom made 750 carb that flowed 900,.. 900 what you dont say. I can only assume that you mean CFM. And again,.. 900 cfm single carb on an L98 engine? Custom made,.. seriously? How old are you,.. 12?

When you post bullshit to someone else that may or may not understand what they have or where the problem is only creates more problems for that person. You should not tell people something that you honestly know nothing about. If you want to learn then you are more than welcome to stick around. If not then please refrain from making technical comments in Ford Tech.

Thank you.

i never said the corvette was EFI, its now a 383 stroker small block, everything was converted over to carbureted (brought it like this) since dad owned it, we upgraded the cams, carb and fuel delivery system. my dad so called corvette specialist put on a holley 650 cfm double pump carb. at first it ran good but the guy never timed it, so we decided to find a different guy and we did, Joey's performance down in hudson, and he had the custom carb made.

and instead of bashing me about helping the guy, why dont you try helping him also instead of typing some useless bullshit.

YouTube - 86 corvette rev. and heres the link to my dads corvette, this only has the cam upgrade, nothing else in it, just havent made a new video

 

I bashed you because your talking out of your ass with incorrect technical points that offer no help what so ever.
If you want to help then have some back ground on the subject that you want to help with and offer good and useful info. Dont tell someone they need to get rid of a carb when you dont even know what kind of carb she has on there,.. all you know is that it is a Holley. Dont tell someone it must be the clutch or a torq converter when you have no idea. The best help you could have told him was to take it to a shop to get diagnosed. No one can tell him what is wrong with it with out looking at it and tearing it open. Odds are he has a solenoid or sensor gone bad effecting his shift points. But offering that info does not help because he can not repair it himself. So the only real help will be to tell him to take it to a shop.

If you want to help then be specific and dont talk trash just for the sake of trying to seem important. Thats how you come across to me.

There is nothing wrong with using a Holley carb on a small block Ford. They simplify diagnostic procedures, offer equal and often superior performance to comparable EFI set ups,.. and lastly when starting from scratch are arguably the most cost effective way to go when trying to do a performance application on a budget. The only time they really need adjustment is when the car travels to different elevations where here in Fla the carb would be jetted for sea level operation. At a place like Colorado it would need to be rejetted to run properly. Other than that they need no more maintenance or adjustments than an EFI set up does. They need periodic cleaning the same as EFI components do. Beyond that they are trouble free.

That little carb'd V8 in her car will more than likely embarrass your 300z.

i did tell him to go to a shop if u didnt see. but anyways i gave him afew helpful things to look into.

and im sure her mustang could take the 300zx, doesnt bother me.

as for the carb, im only going by what joey's performance told us.

 

Your doing it all wrong! Honda's should never pass you!

 

lol you know what i mean..

 

If I admit to knowing what you meant I'd be contributing to Honda's passing Mustangs and I can't do that so... I plead the fifth!

 

I mean when i passed them i can blind them.

 

everyone loves passing a honda, i know i do, my friend and his gsr teggy wont even mess with me, no fun

 

hmmmm I noticed some of you guys are refering to untamedgurl as a "him" and I thought him was a girl
