I pulled out my Holley pile, found the 780 main body and base plate, then got the right metering plates for it. Drilled a few holes, jetted it up, and made the squirter bigger, and poof! It runs E85 now.
Idles better than the Qjet, starts a tad easier, but will undoubtedly burn more fuel. The idle sounds great, and man does that carb sing when you whack it.
Right now I am working on the exhaust, putting the 3" stuff under it and finding mufflers that will fit it. Then I need to drill someholes and mount the wideband O2 in the collectors. yeah I got one a while back, now I can do some tuning on this thing. I figured the Holley will work better for now, and I need one to put on the 65 LeMans anyway. Two birds one big stick sort of thing.
Will see how well the carb runs once the O2 is in it. Might end up doing more of these things for people, and definitely going to science out the Qjets, so i can do any of them, not just the APT carbs.
video tomorrow, or the next day. Lots to do yet, and its open exhaust right now or I would have made one already.
