RE: [Chevelle-List] Get a howl from a Holley?
Good idea. Sounds like a mixed bag of experiences from different people as to howl or not to howl. I will try this. Thanks.

What I do to test the secondaries of the Holley is take a small paper clip and bend it so it clips lightly on the rod that connects the vacuum diaphragm to the secondary butterfly shaft. Clip it on the rod in a way so after a test drive if the secondary opened you will see the clip has moved down the rod. The clip can't be tight on the rod as it has to slide. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What I do to test the secondaries of the Holley is take a small paper clip and bend it so it clips lightly on the rod that connects the vacuum diaphragm to the secondary butterfly shaft. Clip it on the rod in a way so after a test drive if the secondary opened you will see the clip has moved down the rod. The clip can't be tight on the rod as it has to slide. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

>I don't get a howl from either my Holley or Barry Grant when the secondaries open up. Never have. Wow, that's kinda disappointing. I've grown to love the howl of the Edelbrock. I wonder if the Demon does it. Kelly & Jana Hanna www.hannawoodworks.com

I don't get a howl from either my Holley or Barry Grant when the secondaries open up. Never have. Certainly not like the Quadrajets. "Kelly C.

Almost all four barrels do that when the secondaries open, in fact I've never heard one that didn't (with an open element air cleaner)...I'll ask my buddy in Michigan who has the same carb and see what he says (my Edelbrock 1406 is the howliest I've ever heard since it doesn't have the flapper that the other carbs do).

Re: [Chevelle-List] Get a howl from a Holley?
The secondaries on Quads are very large and are known to make the howl you are referring to by design. The 850 cfm quads (found on many 400,403, & 455 olds/buick/pontiac's, and 472 & 500 Caddys) seem to make the most noise, but it is hard to say for sure. Holleys are designed differently and most have smaller secondaries (I will guess you are running a 650?) and I have never really heard much of a howl with them, but most times all I hear is exhaust :) If you have looked at the bottom of a quad verses the bottom of a 650 Holley you will see the secondaries are larger then the primaries on the quad and the secondaries will be approx. the same size on the Holley 650. If you really want to see if they are opening all the way grab a buddy and watch as they put the pedal to the floor.

While test-driving as part of a reassembly, I am not sure the secondariesare opening on my Holley Street Avenger. I have an open element aircleaner.In the old days my 400 sb with a quadrajet would really howl when thesecondaries opened up. It sounded really cool.I don't hear a sound like that now, and I am wondering if the secondariesare opening up at all? Maybe that sound was specific to that engine orcarb?Can anyone else hear when the secondaries are opened up and the engine isrunning under load?Thanks,Mark71SS-To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.htmlTo start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
