Default 6210 holley?

just wondering if anyone has put center hung bowls on a 6210. i know holley made an 800 spread bore with center hung bowls. i know the accelerator pump discharge on a regular center hung bowl is in a different position. wondering if i could plug and redrill the passage. any other constructive ideas for this carb? i am not intrested in thoughts on a quadrajet, i already have one. i used this carb before and the throttle response is quicker, again i don't care about comparing it to a quadrajet.

I read about a guy that said he made one work after he contacted the holley folks and they told him it wouldnt, I never followed it cause it was something beyond my interest . sorry I cant be more help.

I'm going to give this puppy a try some day.





Don't know about swapping the bowls on a 6210 though.

You actually answered your own question and it is as simple as plugging the old hole and drilling the new discharge channel in the metering block just a bit to the right and down. You also need to make a very slight modification to the gasket to match the hole.

You didn't say and I'm not asking why, but there is nothing to gain from this modification from a performance perspective. It's easier to adjust floats, but on the original bowls, once they are set it's not like they take a lot of follow-on maintenance. And the transfer tube -pain in the *** that it can be- flows more than the needle allows so nothing's happening there either.

oh i know all that, the dual feed only makes float level easier to check and adjust . but its different and that works easier for me than a bmw v 12 engine lol.
