Holley badly needs some more knowledgeable customer support. Spent 3 separate times at one hour wait time, and had poor advice given. No wonder other carb manufacturers are stealing Holley’s business (Quick Fuel, Pro Systems, Edelbrock)…
Last time they told me that “you shouldn’t use a wideband for your carb, it’ll fool ya. Just listen to what it tells ya….” sure thing………………….
