Hmmm? I think you have that backwards. Carbs aren't referred to as toilet bowls by happenstance

:blam:
Maybe that's why the FI guys can't keep them running right, they use them wrong. You gotta put gas in them!

:rofl:

Says the guy with the FiTech.

mclellan83 what is the exact issue with your friend's Holley and what is it, i.e. Sniper, Term, HP, Dominator?
Actually, says the guy who has just taken possession of an Edelbrock 1906 AVS II which will bolt directly to the Edelbrock 2101 intake that has occupied a place of honor on that motor for over 35 years. All that lies between me and the swap is a certain amount of dogged determination to learn why the FI TEch TBI unit is failing to perform as advertised. Much as I'd like to blame the equipment, I'm the one who did the installaton and that makes me responsible to a certain degree for all the good, bad, and ugly, that I have encountered.

About to go out to the garage to restore some more of the interior plastics on my Grand Prix's interior overhaul

Get rid of the CCC-system they said. It's a POS they said.

And yet, you look at all the fi-tech problems people have. All the Sniper problems people have...

A nice q-jet, properly tuned, either CCC or not based on your power needs. Unless it's a full out race car no need for more than that. ;)

I'm slacking, but made it to Street Rod Nationals over the weekend with my buddy Cory and his boosted Monte, other buddy Ethan with a twin turbo LS Monte and sbc Monte, and a younger kid with a nice GN....

Go to the 17:25 mark on the video below. Some random dude shooting video got our cars! LS fest is a few weeks out, planning on going since I've already registered.

cobbled together mk ii throttle/cruise/kickdown bracket out of a heavily chopped 231 v6 bracket and a non modified mid 70s buick 350 4 barrel/th350 bracket.
also made a little tab for the fan to hold it. my trusty ziptie broke and it got in a fight with the water pump pulley.

V6 bracket:

V6 bracket part number:

350/4/Th350 bracket part number:

I was gonna weld em together, but i wanted to maintain the slight adjustability the two brackets overlapping provide. They are surprisingly sturdy.
