Default Holley rebuild

Hello all! A friend needs a Holley carb rebuilt. Who is the go to person for such a repair (already contacted Lars, my first choice, but this didn't work out). Thanks for your input.

Just do it yourself. The kit has all the necessary instructions.

Holley is easy. Everything is on the web. Just be careful and dont lose parts.
Dont overclean by running wire and such in passageways. Carb cleaner and toothbrushes.

I just did a Holley Rebuild for the first time ever last week. I have never done anything like this and was nervous that i was going to screw it up.

Everything went very smooth and this was much easier than i thought. The fuel bowls had all kinds of dirt in them. I did the rebuild due to flooding. what is causing you to rebuild?





The brown spots on the bottom was dirt in the fuel Bowl.

If you don't want to do it yourself, Mike at the Carb Shop in Santa Ana, CA is somewhat of a legend.
