Re: Holley carb power valve questions
The engine has 2" primary headers, HEI distributor, I think they're 1971 oval port heads(to lower compression), stock flat L78 intake and I'm going to assume stock cam. If I remember correctly, when I checked the compression and vacuum it was reading around 13 at idle. So I'm thinking the 6.5's will be too low. I would rather get the power valves right the first try so I'm in no hurry. Thanks guys.

Re: Holley carb power valve questions
I use a "window" type, 8.5 in the primary, with the secondary pluged. If you go this route you will have to increase the secondary jetting. I believe I am went from 76s to 84 jets. Seems to work great.
