Mikelly Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 So, As I draw ever closer to firing my motor up, I sit and look at Jim's Zcar, which won't run, due in large part to idiots not knowing how to tune the Holley software... The same software used in the fuel injection system on my motor, that THIS idiot doesn't know a thing about either... So I've been searching for carb parts to install on my motor to break it in, and onto Jim's car to get the motor to run properly, and wouldn't you know, there are some real finds out there when you have a little patience... A Holley Street Dominator intake was bought from jt1 for $75! THANKS JOHN!!! A Holley 750 Double Pumper, referbished and completely checked out was bought from a guy I know for $150!!! A referbished Holley SuperBlue Fuel Pump was bought off ebay for $75!! And finally an Edelbrock plate/regulator/fuelline kit was bought for $60 from Ebay, still new in package and for a Holley setup! So, for the complete fuel and intake system to run this car, I'm into it for less than $400! I'll get the cars running with this setup, get Mine de-bugged and then get BOTH cars with BOTH fuel injection systems down to Jeff Creech in North Carolina for some serious tuning. And this time, I'm gonna keep the carb stuff sitting on the shelf, because you just never can tell when you're possibly gonna need it down the road!

It can't hurt to keep the simple parts around that you KNOW work well to begin with. Spares have saved many a man's behind before!
