The Rochester unit works pretty well but it takes a very specific



procedure to adjust it. Then you hope it stays adjusted for a while.



One of the reasons why many were replaced with carbs was due to the



finicky adjustments needed.



The rochester was great for places like arizona where the weather is



not changeable and there are not too many trees. Here in Ontario you



had to re-tune them with every (hourly) change in the weather, or if

I had far better luck with Rottenchesters in LoCal than I did with



Holleys







We are not talking about rochester carburetors - we are talking about



Rochester Fuel Injection, as used on the '57 Corvette and BelAir 283.







My bad.











That said, Holley carbs always (or at least OFTEN) had issues with



leaks between the metering block and the throttle body, often due to



warped metering blocks - worse in hot climates but common enough up



here in Ontario,







Right. And if it wasn't a leak, it was a plugged orifice. There was



no way to properly boil out a Holley metering block. I bought a



special air blower with a rubber tip to make sure all the carb dip was



blown out of the tiny orifices in Holleys, and even then, it was an



iffy rebuild. I hate Holleys for that.

Larry Jackass hates Holly Carburetors because he's a moron with no clues.



There is a reason they make after market metering blocks for Holly

carburetors. Larry Jackass like to brag that he went to UTI. They don't

cover a lot at very important stuff at UTI. You are expected to learn on

your own after they teach you the very basics.



Over and over Larry Jackass shows us why he's such a failure in life. It's

because he, like most Mark Wieber clique of idiot members, can't think for

himself and learn on his own. I have had very good results with Holly

carburetors in the past. These are the metering blocks I used:

Was that for the flathead that's sitting in your IMSA Barcalounger?



Hey, why aren't you watching the TUDOR championship at the Brickyard right

now? It's on Fox Sports 1, with live streaming on IMSA.com.



You could go "vroom, vroom" while you motor your Barcalounger back and

forth...
