sube101 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ook so i bought i brat and there is a holly carb and adapter plate for it. not installed yet, my question is how good is a holly carb, im askin because all i ever hear about on a sube is either a weber or a hitachi. i mean i know holly is a good brand but does it match with weber?

vagen Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 it all depends on what holley it is. if its a 5300 series then you have the holley clone of a weber any other series I would look up the part # to see if its too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It's likely a Holley/Weber "5200 series" which is a licensed copy of the Weber 32/36 DFV. They very often have smaller venturi's and are harder to work with on EA81's due to the mirror-image design of the cafb vs. the Weber 32/36 DGV and the smaller venturi's mean more playing with jetting - the jetting for the DGV's is widely known and rattling around in my head. I have no idea what to jet a DFV at because I don't use them and haven't tuned one. I don't lilke them personally. There's a variety of reasons. But ultimately they were clone carbs equipped with a lot more "junk" for use on 70's Ford products. Pinto's, Cortina's, etc. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few people on this board running them without too many issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah - if you have one that is in good shape, not cluttered with extra emissions junk, and you have the time to do some tuning and messing with jets - definitely can be better than the Hitachi.
