What weight spring did you use because I was thinking of doing this too.

What weight spring did you use. I was thinking about doing the same to mine when I rebuild it

I read, and I believe it was here on ford barn, someone said theyregulated theirs to 5lbs of fuel at idle and they never had an issue and that alot of the issue with this carburator is pumping more fuel to it than either the unit or engine can handle.

I want to thank you guys for all the help. You've been great. I was actually apprehensive about asking about this carburater because one of the few things i was able to find on it was the nickname towering inferno and there seems to be many people with strong feelings against it. I'm very...

Well, that may be an issue. Looking at this carb it doesn't look like the governor can just be removed and the ports plugged. I'm not entirely invested on using it if it's going to cause me issues. And my rear is 4.11 gears.

I'm not too worried about the performance aspect to be honest. I'll be running EAB heads and hopefully I can get ahold of an EAB camshaft, stock bore. Being a realist I'm pretty sure I'll be lucky to hit 130 hp. Im mostly looking to build something that cruises comfortably at highway speeds.

At this past Carlise I saw an Offy manifold for a flathead with a teapot mounted on it. Oldmics I wanted to make it to the spring swap meet, but had too much going on that weekend. I've heard Carlisles swap meets are awesome, never been to one though hopefully this fall.

I've read that the 4 barrel manifold offenhauser offers is a good match for the holley 4000 and that the load-a-matic distributor can be used if you change the drive gear. So far that's the plan, the flathead is currently seized, gotta get that sorted out first to figure out if i can even build...

Don't laugh, but i was hoping to use it on the 239 flathead in my 49 Ford.

And in addition i do have poppets on my choke plates.

Sorry I"m just now replying. The number on the base is ECS-9510 E LIST-1391. It does have a spark valve, and there is a giant govenor on the front.

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm hoping someone on here can help me with this. I recently bought a remanufactured Holley 4000. Every example i've seen so far has small rounded choke plates. Mine has fairly large rectangular choke plates. I was wondering if someone on here had ever seen...
