Just passing through Charlie, going to Stone Mountain for a day then to Pigeon Forge for a couple of days... I'll make time to stop at Summit though, I go right by it.

Then we'll miss each other. I'm heading to Orlando for Christmas and have some stuff to take care of while I'm there. I probably won't be back until the following Wednesday.


Lawrenceville, GA

Have a great Christmas & be careful on I-75. It will be packed....

Well I checked the jets in my carb & it says 512 on it. Went to Holley's website & I see nothing about what a 512 is. I didn't see a .xxx anywhere. Anybody got any idea what size a 512 is?

A 3 digit number is a close tollarance machined jet ,so it's a # 51 jet.

That should be 51s which are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to small. The 2 means their really close to each other in their flow rate. Move up to 56s and see if this helps those flat spots a bunch of us have experinced. Let us know how it turns out, good luck.

I think I did mention back in the early posts that these carbs come from the factory with the oddball 512 jets.These carbs are used on everything from 4 cylinder Pintos up to 300 cid V-8's.Glad you got yours fixed up.As I mentioned I am happy with mine.

  

Congrats on the carb fix.
