Default Holley Carb Question

I just bought a Holley Street Avenger from someone and they didn't have the manual. Long shot here but does someone have the manual that can scan me the page on which port is which (dist, brake, fuel vapor etc) or does someone know a good website that might show it. I couldn't find anything on the holley site. Also someone mentioned that the Avenger might work on a stock intake does anyone know if thats true. As always any help is appreciated.

Go back to where it fell off the back of the truck and you should find the manual there. :lol:

Seriously though it looks like the Street Avenger has the standard Holley setup. The nozzle on
the metering block half way up is your ported vacuum and the nozzle on the baseplate is the
manifold vacuum and nozzle under the vacuum secondary connects to your PCV valve I believe.

You can use either the ported or manifold vacuum for your distributor vacuum advance depending
on your setup but block the other one off.

I have the 670 street avenger on my c3. I do not have scanner or I would scan the manual for you.

There are 5 vac ports,
1 is for vac advance to distributor (upper port on choke side)
2 ports on front, 1 is full intake vaccum(larger), and other is less intake(smaller port)
2ports on back.

I used:
power brakes on a rear port
distributor choke side upper small port
egr front large port
pcv small port on front

I hope that helps some, I am at work and no manual here to refer to so its from memory. The holley is a square bore flange carb, so if the stock intake is not square bore I would call holley to see what you need spacer wise.
