Hey all. New to the site. So i'm stumped as to what to do. I recently put an Edelbrock 4x4 Victor Jr. on my 350. After that install, I threw on a rebuilt 600 cfm Holley. While I was cranking it with the new parts installed, I had a pretty **** loud backfire come out the exhaust. Keep in mind...

Hi Guys, I have a 65 l77 package I picked up earlier this year. The po had the engine rebuilt and runs smooth. I've had issues with the carb (it's the original 4 barrel). The stock motor is the 283 and the l77 power pack had the 4b carb. I want to fix the carb issue and hopefully use the...

I'm experiencing a bog when I quickly put my foot to the floor. If I ease into WOT it's fine. I'm sure it's not a timing issue anymore because when ny timing was off it would backfire through the carb too but doesn't anymore. The carb is a 650 edelbrock. The only thing I can think if is I need a...

Hello again everyone! I'm looking for tips on a new carburetor. I'm getting rid of my old 650 double pumper holley and going for a 650 Thunder series AVS Edelbrock. My holley had been rebuilt many times and is 20+ years old. Also sat in the garage where I found the car for 15 year. It loves to...

I replaced my Fast Idle Solenoid the other day and when I had the air cleaner off I reved the engine up and gas shot out of the top of the carb. Is this how the jets are supposed to work or does it sound like ther's a problem? Thanks in advance :confused2:

Hey everybody, I have a 85 el camino with a stock 305 5.0l v8 automatic. So far I have been trying to teach myself about cars so i have been working on this. So the problem is that when i turn the ignition, there is a very fast repetitive clicking noise. i originally thought it was the...

Just dropped a Holley 750 Vac secondary (model 3310) on my 350 4 bolt main. Finally evicted that POS Carter AFB! Any how, the car was running well for a day then I noticed she started running rough. Chugging at idle, sounded like she dropped an octive out of the exhaust. When I mash the throtle...

Hi all, I tried the search but didn't find what I was looking for. I'm looking for carb advice on a 73 350 el Camino. I believe it's just got a stock 2 barrel in it. I hate the auto choke. HATE IT. It runs OK when it's 60+ degrees, but lately it's a turd. The temperature here varies a lot...
