i had the electronic q-jet on my '81 for something like 10 years since i owned the car. a couple years ago when i rebuilt the engine, i ditched the 'puter for a straight analog system. so i installed a 750 holley. i've had more problems out of this garbage pile of bolts than i ever did with that q-jet. hell, i've put less than 3000 miles on this motor and the carb has been a constant problem. it's not even that old. granted, i bought it used from a buddy (he went 8-71 with two 600 double pumpers) but it's still a fairly new carb.
so today i finally get around to taking it apart to figure out what the hell is wrong with it this time. looks like i lost the rear float, it's half full of gas. i also screwed up the vacuum secondary diapragm when i pulled it apart to change the spring. so i found one problem and created one problem. i'm going to put a new diapragm and float in this thing and if that doesn't do it, i'm throwing it into the deepest part of lake mead. eff this.
i just fail to understand what the big deal is with holley. maybe they do make more power than a q-jet or carter in an all out racing application. but i just like something that works from the time you pull it out of the box.
