Default Re: New member introducing myself and Holley carb

I would love to see pictures of the truck.

On the carburetor I would check the float level, which is very easy to do. With the all warm up and idling. There is a plug on the right side of the fuel bowl. Unscrew and remove the plug. The proper fuel level should be just barely start to flow out of the bottom of the hole. If adjustment is need, loosen the screw (do not remove, only need to loosen about a turn) at the top front of the bowl then turn the nut. Turning the nut clockwise will raise the float level and counter-clockwise will lower it. Then tighten the screw. Then the idle mixture screw should be set approx. 1-1/2 turn out from full seated position. Idle may also need to be adjusted. Refer to Holley page for detail info.
