750hp Holley VS Fixed but found something rather surprising

Post by 1980RS »

Got a chance to test my 750 Holley Street HP vacuum secondary carb that I fixed over the winter and it worked real well. I did the little secondary tube mod but after I took the carb off to test the next one as I pulled off my homemade vent tube crossover it pulled off both metal tubes from the carb. Glad I do this now as without the tube mod one of those little vents may have gotten into the engine and ruined a great engine. Looks like all my Holley's and other carbs will get checked for sure and if loose locktite will be used.

Nice catch. We can’t take anything for granted anymore.
