    Holley 885JJ Rebuild Project Progress

    Here is a picture of the main throttle body after assembly. The throttle plates are wide open. When you are assembling there are 2 bearings that are key to the throttle plate shaft. Mine were shot and here is a neat trick. Get some 608 skateboard bearings, then tape the outside of the...

    Holley 885JJ Rebuild Project Progress

    Update: Saturday morning me an 73m819 got the carb installed. She fired up quickly but was running at WOT and had to be choked back extensively until we figured out the throttle linkage was not hooked up correctly. The carb by design is in a WOT position and the throttle plates are held by the...

    Vt, the bowl was okay, lots of dirt really the problem was in the air passages and all the air valves. These were solid gunk, I went through a gallon of high dollar car cleaner and it is clean. I think these things would run through anything but now having tore apart I know what I have and...

    Holley Float Gauge If any one has the Holley Float gauge laying around I need the measurement from the bottom of the main body cover assembly to the bottom of the float. There are references to the 885FFG carb at 5/32" clearance from the top of float to the assembly but that is a different beast.
