FB/EK Holden 350 Holley Enthusiasts Guide

Post by Harv »

Ladies and Gents,

As promised, attached below a link to a the FB/EK Holden 350 Holley Enthusiasts Guide (with thanks to those on the forum who commented). It contains:
• historical information, such as which jets and bleeds were originally fitted to 350 Holley carburettors,
• practical information on identification, disassembly and reassembly of 350 Holley carburettors, and
• guidance on tuning, replacement parts and overhaul techniques.

It contains answers to many of the questions that seem to come up routinely on most of the early Holden forums:
“What jets should I run in my early Holden?”
“Why is my Holley carburettor running so poorly?”
“How do I set up a cable throttle?”

The document is written with FB/EK Holdens in mind, and generally those with red motors fitted. However, most of the the information is equally applicable to other early Holdens. Happy to hear feedback where I have gotten something wrong :mrgreen: .



Cheers,
Harv (chief apprentice carby fiddler).

Good job Harv :thumbsup:

I'm going to make a cup of tea and give it a good read. Maybe I'll learn where I went wrong setting up my Holley 350 on the reco'd low compression red 202 that I put in my last EK ute (worked OK, but was a pain to start).

BTW your washer enthusiasts guide was killer :thumbsup: It has really helped me put together all of the parts I need for my FB's washers.

Whats next?

Thanks Rusty - appreciated. Have spoken to Lindsay a while ago, he certainly knows a hell of a lot about Normans!

Cheers,
Harv
