Holley power valve question
By Fatblockford - 03/03/2005 1:44:15 PM; IP 12.6.117.199
I think I have blown the power valve in my 750 holley (4160), although I have not inspected it yet. It backfired on me and will not idle any more. I've heard that the power valve is suspect in this situatuation. That carb should have come with a 6.5 powervalve. The car has always ran rich. If I have to replace it, I would like to change the valve if needed, but I can't get it to idle enough to check intake vacuum. It's a 68 390 with gt heads. Streetmaster intake, solid lifter cam (adv. duration 310, actual 244, with .524 lift), C6 automatic. If you were going to guess at which powervalve to start with, what would it be?
Thanks
