Reply to "Torker Intake"

PanteraDoug, I am having the same problem with my buddies 427 Fairlane. I believe they are Holley 600's and I rebuilt them last year and finally got them dialed in. They were bad for fouling the plugs every couple of months and he had a stall problem under hard braking. Now the car runs the best it has ever run, but the engine still wants to stall and after adjusting the float levels several times I cannot seem to eliminate it. In my opinion the carbs being mounted backwards is allowing the fuel to slosh towards the metering plate when braking and then allowing the float to drop enough to let more fuel into the bowl and causing an enrichment flooding the car. When the stall occurs you have to throttle it a bit to clear, I would expect to see black smoke from the exhaust, but I don't thinking it may be a lean problem instead. So I need to concentrate on tweeking the primary float adjustments on both or just one of the carbs causing the problem. These Holley's are so sensitive to over adjusting it can take you from good to bad very quickly. Just my thoughts, Derrick
