    Holley 390 questions.

    in Trouble Shooting / General Engine

    No, an idle of 1500 RPM is not normal. There is no reason the Holley cannot be made to work well and run and idle normally. It sounds like the idle circuit might be very lean for some reason. Check the idle circuit for blocked jets and such. If this is not the problem you might need to use bigger idle jets.

     

     

    Before I start to disassemble the carburetor, Can a vacuum leak cause this?

    Have a few questions.

     

     

    I have a 260Z with a Holley 390 carburetor with electric choke. I have previously only worked with dellortos and su, so Holley carburetors is new for me. Idle speed is 1500, is this normal? The engine stops below 1500. Found this post just want to have it confirmed if this is correct.My link

     

    Do I need to replace the fuel lines/pipes all the way from the tank to the carburetor or does it work with the original size of the fuel lines/pipes?

     

    Thanks.

    Finally began to get my old car running. have done a lot of electrical wiring. The car has been standing still for 3 years but today I got it running. Had to put a damper/restriction?!? in the exhaust, want to continue to be the "good" neighbor. Sooo amazingly happy, soon it will be on the road again.

     

    Is like music to my ears. (high idle i know)

    Eibach springs

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted · Edited by swe_crazy

    Has bought the Eibach springs and searched this forum and found this.

     

    6305.202: REAR install right side up so part # 's and Logo are facing up so you-can read it Properly.

    6305.001: FRONT Same as above.

     

    Is it correct that the spring should be placed like this? larger gap between the coils down?

    Have got hold of a set Riken rims 15x7 off-set 17mm ... which means that they are very close to the spring. Do use a spacer in the front (5mm). At the rear tire is 10mm from the spring so it works but I will have to have tire 205/15 all around. But the question is whether I should have 205/50/15 or 205/60/15? with Eibach springs?
