Th e four s e parate Roch e s te r carbure tors us e d on th e s tock 140 h ors e pow e r e ngine h ave de finite lim itations . For e xam ple , th e link age is com ple x: It is difficult to s e t up and m aintain corre ctly. In addition, th e re are four carbure tors th at m us t be cle ane d and re built w h e n th e tim e com e s for th at m ainte nance . Als o th e s e tup allow s for no intak e tuning to m axim iz e m ixture flow w ith in a de s ire d rpm range .

So it is natural th at Corvair ow ne rs w ould w ant to e lim inate th e s e de ficie ncie s and im prove pe rform ance . Th us , at le as t tw o diffe re nt ve ndors h ave offe re d conve rs ion k its th at re place d th e four s tock -carbure tors w ith a s m all-cfm 4-barre l carbure tor ce nte r-m ounte d on four runne rs ove r th e top of th e e ngine . Carbure tors m os t com m only us e d w ith th is s e tup are th e H olle y 39 0 cfm (#8007 of th e 4150/4160 s e rie s ) or th e 450 cfm Carte r Alum inum AFB us e d on th e Valiant 270 CI e ngine s and oth e r cars . Th e H olle y is now th e m os t available and m os t us e d carbure tor s o w e w ill addre s s our com m e nts tow ard th is carbure tor m os tly.

Th e H olle y 8007 carbure tor com e s w ith vacuum ope rate d s e condarie s and an e le ctric ch ok e s o th is is th e m os t de s irable carbure tor. Als o available is th e le s s de s irable #629 9 th at doe s n’t h ave th e e le ctric ch ok e .

Th e re are s e ve ral dis tinct advantage s us ing th is ce nte r m ounte d 4-barre l s e tup w ith e ith e r type of carbure tor. Firs t, it e lim inate s th e link age w e ar and adjus tm e nt proble m s of th e s tock s e tup, and of cours e th e re is only one carbure tor to re build.

But m aybe jus t as im portant is th e 6 lb-ft m ax m id-range torq ue (and h ors e pow e r) im prove m e nt due to th e intak e runne r tuning.

Th e w ors t and m aybe m os t annoying is th e ne e d to re calibrate th e 4-bbl carbure tor

to m atch th e Corvair e ngine . No. Sorry, th is is jus t not a s im ple bolt on s e tup, alth ough Clark ’s claim th at th e ir carbure tors are re ady to go. You m ay h ave to tink e r w ith th e carbure tor to ge t it righ t. Th e m ain proble m s w ill probably be w ith th e acce le rator pum p and pow e r valve , ge tting th e m righ t for your e ngine . In addition s om e re -je tting m ay be ne ce s s ary.

In addition, due to its de s ign, th e H olle y h as m any (about 20) place s w h e re fue l can le ak and be a fire h az ard. So w h e n you m us t re build your carbure tor, us e only re us able gas k e ts . Th e s e re us able gas k e ts w ill allow you to partially dis as s e m ble th e carbure tor w h e n ne ce s s ary and th e n re as s e m ble w ith out re placing th e gas k e ts e ach tim e .

Note th at th e re is no fe e for e ith e r s h ow ing a car or jus t look ing.

In w alk ing around, I found it is q uite a big ope ration. Th e re w as a com m and pos t s e t up w ith a louds pe ak e r s ys te m th at w as playing m us ic from th e rock and roll e ra, w ith Elvis e t al.
