Dis-assembly required. By Louie - 04/03/2001 11:41:09 AM; IP 143.166.99.251 Don't know if this applies to your situation or not as you didn't say the model of the carb, but here it goes anyway. I have had a had a hidden vacuum leak somewhere and in my trobleshooting, I was going to rebuild the carb just to eleminate it as the cause. Well, I took the vac housing off and a little piece of paper fell out. I got to looking at it and it was the backing paper for the little cork gasket that seals the vac port. Holley had installed the gasket with the backing paper on! No wonder I was getting such bad performance (always blamed it on a stock cam and a heavy pickup). Well, I put in a new gasket and violâ, my gas mileage really sucks now. But when my head slaps up against the back window on acceleration, I forget all about it. Seriously, I have heard many say that you should never just throw on a Holley 3310. You should alway tune it to the application. I discounted their advice. If I had gone over it with a fine tooth comb, I would have caught it a long time ago. Not any more.

This thread, so far...
