Manifolds, LPG, and Holley Probs
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 12:29 pm
Hey guys got another dumb question which manifold gasket do I use with a elderbrock manifold onto a 3.5 carby motor:
1) http://www.roverparts.com.au/inc/sdetail/254 ERC3990
2) http://www.roverparts.com.au/inc/sdetail/253 LKJ500020
3) http://www.roverparts.com.au/inc/sdetail/255 ERC3990
As I am unsure without pictures and the car I pulled it of only had the thin metal valley gasket and lots of silicone.
Also whats the best gas mixer for a Holley carb the alloy hat type eg

or try use something more in a line like this
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0297184202
but with using this how in the heck would I attach a pipe to the top of the Holley.
With both of these options want to keep it usable off road eg no water or mud clogging air filters and the like.
One last thing is $90 about the right price for a Holley 4BBl rebuild kit or to pricey. And can some one give some diffinate info on making these Holley better for off road but I will be running dual fuel so is it better to just keep the gas for off road work
Sorry about the dumb questions but am trying to solve the lack of K's per tank out of the old girl. 230 is not enough with what I get up to. Was chasing down the second gas tank path as you could see from my other posts but this lead too a giant big pile of dollar signs. Not where I want to go at present. But I have the elderbrock and Holley sitting here doing nothing at present so figured this is the cheaper and simpler option of returning the car to duel fuel not straight gas. Is this a dumb idea? This is causing me a lot of stress and pain as I have to have it all sorted and running by no later than the 20/02 for a planned club trip. So please some help to ease the stress would be greatly appreciated.
