question about Holley "shooters"

82 GT · 10-30-2005, 06:09 PM

I have a Holley 3310 750 carb. I want to order some "shooters" from summit. They list 3 different types and I'm not sure what I need.
They have the "tube type", "anti-pullover" or "straight type"
Which one do I need?

Do you mean squirters or boosters? Since you list a few names that seem to be close, I'm assuming that you mean boosters and are trying to decide whethere you need straightleg, downleg or annular. All three are interchangeable, but beware that you need a special tool to change out the boosters. Last time I check, this tool ran close to $200. There may be other ways to install these, but since it is a flare/compression fit I'd be leery of just using a punch and hammer to set them. Call the Holley tech line if you really want some help in deciding which would be best for your carburetor and engine combination.

My mistake. I meant squirters. I must have been looking at the wrong thing. I'm assuming that all the squirters are the same then?

You'll want to choose a squirter size that is correct for your carb & combination. You want the squirter to help control how long the shot from your accelerator pumps last. Big squirter = short duration shot, small squirter = longer duration shot.

Anti-Pullover shooters are for 4165/4175 Holley's, which are spreadbore (GM pattern).

Tube Type and Straight Type (aka: Standard Type) are pretty much the same, performance-wise. You won't notice any difference unless your engine runs at 5k rpm for prolonged periods of time, in which case you'll want the Tube Type.

I reccommend Straight (Standard) Type for your needs.
