[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2984235, member: 15054"] I am with you to a point. Stock they never measured up. Buddy had a 3310 As we know that is a 750 vacuum secondary ..he had the percys blocks that allows you to make jet changes by turning a screw on the outside. Anyway he was Holley all the way..He always asked why I run the AFB and Q jet. I said they pull harder on the top end. He called BS. I let him install and tune his Holley on my car. We drove it before and after. He did not ever say his Holley was better after that..In fact he ended up running a Qjet I tweaked for him and later went AFB. Now The Holley jet changes sucked from stock,, with their cork gaskets that always stuck even chapstick on them did not help 100%. Fast forward to today... they have Blue NON stick gaskets that are awesome. Problem is the Holley has a raised bead where the gasket seals.. that bead is for making the cork gasket stay in place.. no way to shrink or get out of place with a bead lock. Now with the Blue non stick you need to remove that bead as it will eat through the nonstick and some of the gasket will stick. Not always as some have a shallow bead from being rebuilt so many times and others will have a very pronounced bead.. it is not needed with the new blue gaskets as they do not have the shrink issues like the old cork. That makes jet and other changes much easier. I will say i like the old Holleys much better than many of the new ones like street avenger series and some of the knock off's. Those things suck.. in a bad way. Anyhoo I got the porting and some of the welding finished on that cast iron Qjet intake. All my carbide cutters are dull.. I actually used my 225 ac lincoln to gouge out the plenum area.. First time to try that.. what a time saver. Yes I thought of doing that all by myself. Corndogs are here 50 cents today at sonic.
