Great info Eric. Three things:

Is there some way to print Eric's post, complete with pics? When I try to print, the print preview only shows the screen shot. Any suggestions?

Secondly, Eric, do I have your permission to reprint this info in a local newsletter? I edit the newsletter for a local club and once in a while actually get a newsletter out. Of course I will give credit where it is due.

Thirdly, I have one of those carbs with the extra holes in the air horn. Other than the choke problem, which I am really not worried about, can I expect any other problems? I have worked on about a jillian carbs over the years, but never had one with the holes in it.

To ALL, I have never met Mr Eric Jackson in person. I have had two Holly carbs restored by Eric. We have talked on the phone several times....and hes always been most helpful and courteous.
Yes we ALL know other BIG NAME carb people, but THIS MAN deserves your friendship and the opportunity to earn your respect as he has mine.............
If you need cosmetic or mechanical carb work, THINK Eric Jackson...............

took close to a year to find a diaphram for the original carb on a 65 impala ss 327 air with a carter. good news was it was cheap when we found it.

Great information Eric. Is it safe to assume you are back in business? I passed on sending you the last couple of carbs because I thought you were still on your temporary retirement. Let me know as I would certainly send you the next ones I do.

Awesome info Eric. I have the original Holley off of my 1970 Z-28 LT-1 350 which has the stock mechanical cam. It is a 780 CFM vacuum secondary unit as you described earlier and was rebuilt by the previous owner who replaced the power valves. I was wondering what the correct power valves would be for the carb? I had heard 8.5" opening calibration was correct.

Thanks, Paul

You're welcome

Yes, you can use what I wrote. Not sure what the deal is on why the pics won't print though, can't help you there.

The squirter holes shouldn't cause any other problems that I'm aware of. Depending on what the carb is, it can/will put a dent in it's value though.

Chuck;

Thanks for the kind words once again my friend.

Rick;

Yes, I'm back doing carbs again. Let me know if I can ever be of service.

Paul;

8.5 power valves would be correct for your carburetor.

Lynn,

Highlight the whole post...then copy and paste it into Microsoft Word...or something similar. You should then be able to post pics and all...
