Ok, I have in transit to me an Edmunds 2x2 intake and a set of Holley 2100/94 carbs (Like strombergs). I am ordering a set of adjustable main jets but I am also looking for suggestions as to what power valve closing vacuum I should use. I think original was 6.5 or 7 in single carb apps but Holley power valves are available down to 3. Any suggestions where to start? I am thinking 4.5 because that is half of seven and I am using 2 carbs. This is for a 235 with solid lifters and stock truck cam (I think). I am going to add a hotter cam later. The carbs are operated with each carb feeding 3 cylinders. The intake is water heated.

I do not have any answers for which ones to use in your carbs,,,,yet!


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
