72 in front, 76 in rear, pretty much exactly what Holley shipped
with a 3310-1. I did stumble on some other Holley jets while I was
looking for other stuff in the last few days, but they are all much
smaller, in the 60's. I think they came out of some other Ford
carbs I've had in the past.<br>
<br>
I don't plan on any jet changes honestly, too much work, though I do
get what you are saying.<br>

ALIVE!.... ALIVE!.... IT'S ALIVE!!!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I forgot to grab the extra bits I needed on the way
home, so after <br clear="none">
dinner it was back to Napa and then to Autozone to get
the fittings for <br clear="none">
the fuel and vacuum. Done deal, I picked up the brass
fuel fittings <br clear="none">
from Napa though I had to do a two-piece kludge to get
90* and the size <br clear="none">
I wanted for the fuel line; at Autozone I picked up a
large variety pack <br clear="none">
of vacuum fittings and a large variety pack of vacuum
plugs.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Once home, I fit the 90* fitting onto the fuel log, an
appropriate size <br clear="none">
vacuum fitting on the ported vacuum port and set about
final float <br clear="none">
adjustments.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I'm beginning to love this little hand-held vacuum
pump. It came with a <br clear="none">
reservoir so you can either suck fluid without getting
it into the pump, <br clear="none">
or push fluid out in a neat manner. With that in mind,
I used the pump <br clear="none">
to get some gas out of Shelley's Jeep (don't tell her
that). I then <br clear="none">
reversed the pump, attached it to the fuel log of the
Holley and started <br clear="none">
pumping.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
With the sight plugs removed, I could see the floats
rising until they <br clear="none">
stopped. They both stopped short of the sight holes so
I raised them <br clear="none">
each about a quarter to half turn. I'm sure glad I did
this on the <br clear="none">
bench and not on the car... those center-hung fuel
adjusters for the <br clear="none">
needle and seat can leak like a mother when you loosen
the screw to <br clear="none">
adjust the nut. Good grief!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Once the floats were adjusted I installed the sight
plugs and put the <br clear="none">
carb on the engine. I snugged everything down, routed
the fuel lines, <br clear="none">
vacuum lines, attached linkage and the 12V feed to the
choke. After <br clear="none">
installing the air cleaner, I pulled the Halon fire
extinguisher out and <br clear="none">
set it on the seat next to me.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
For some reason, I kept thinking of the next door
neighbor kid when I <br clear="none">
was young. He was 16 or 17 and had an early 70's
Camaro. One night he <br clear="none">
was messing around with the carb (not that he was the
brightest bulb in <br clear="none">
the box) and he got a backfire that lit it on fire... in
the garage.... <br clear="none">
under the house.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The house burned completely to the ground.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I figured if mine caught fire I'd throw it into reverse
and get it out <br clear="none">
of the garage, then put out the flames.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
One pump on the pedal and she fired on the first turn...
and idled <br clear="none">
smoothly without intervention.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
HoooHAAA! She's alive and purrs.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I grabbed my drop-light and did an inspection around the
carb while <br clear="none">
running to check for leaks. Finding none after a bit of
engine rumbling <br clear="none">
I shut it down and quit for the night. I have to pick
up friends at the <br clear="none">
airport in a little while. I'll monkey with fine tuning
it all tomorrow <br clear="none">
and this weekend.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
But right now... that old Holley 3310-2 (modified) from
Mark is working <br clear="none">
after about $150 in parts and some of my evening time
over the last week <br clear="none">
or two.<br clear="none">
