Default Re: 305e Holley 500 swap question

Jerrspud,

Others might disagree (and probably will), I have found that my 305e engine runs a little rich with the stock Holley 500 (which does help the engine start easier), but I have not taken the time to play around with it. Because the choke on the 500 also moves the throttle on the other side of the carburetor, it is difficult to pull out the replacement choke and longer cable (from NAPA) that I am using. This is made easier by pushing down on the throttle pedal. But converting to the 500 is well worth the effort and makes the engine run much better at higher RPMs.
