Holley drops 256 weiand
Just called Holley today and wanted a 256 blower for my vette and guess what, Yep the baster*s droped the 256 and the 250 blowers.
I spent thousands building my big block and fuel injection just for this blower and they drop it, I hate what America has become and dont like Holley anymore either.

the holleys had quality issues that the folks at the blower shop know how to fix and make more reliable, but, there are better blowers that dont need fixed...right away
kinda like buyin a Colt and then havin to spend more money to make it reliable.

So is there another blower that is for duel carbs and low profil like the weiand 256 blower?
I have a 671 blower and a LT1 hood on my 69 BB but it sticks out to far,
Im In Communist PA.

you can still get the 256, just not spankin new and probably with all the issues worked out. your kinda limited in your choices with needing to keep every thing under a stock hood
btw, have you considered the high rise L88 hood. I saw a Mooneyham manifold with...I just checked the weiand catolog and they list the 256 . brand new. Seems its no longer holley
the link
http://www.holley.com/types/Big%20Bl...6%20Series.asp
and here's the link at Jegs, same warranty as from weiand
http://www.jegs.com/i/Weiand/925/6541/10002/-1
hope this helps
