Reply to "Holley Strip Dominator angled carb base..."

I personally had difficulty with the fuel levels in the Holley carb using the angled intake manifold.

Just adding a Moroso angled spacer helped me and it will reduce or eliminate that issue.

Besides uncovering the jets the real issue is that if you set the floats according to the Holley instructions, on a steep grade you will be spilling fuel into the throttle bores.

Conversely your fuel level will be low where it shouldn't be.

Keeping the carb flat keeps all of the "factory' float levels valid.

I don't know what the maximum angle is before they spill but at least make sure the vents have the extended tubes on them.



Depending on whether you are climbing or descending a grade decides if the carb will flood or starve.

As an aside, when I was going through 'tech inspection' some make you run the car hard then hit the brakes as hard as you can. With the Holley, for me, that always stalled the engine because the fuel sloshed away from the primary jet system.

The 'Tech guys' always loved that. I didn't.
