Hollies forever!

I love my holley. If I wanted something that I didnt need to adjust, I'd have stuck with my EFI. I run a street avenger 670 with the choke removed. I live in boston, so I get hit with the craziest weather changes and pressure changes almost daily. But, once I figured out my jet settings and power valve, I run that combo year round and use the idle to pad the mixture when it turns colder. I set my floats once and only once and am still running the stock accelerator pump cam and shooter. The only thing that requires "constant setting" is you need to go up front when the temperature changes like 40 degrees from day to day and turn the idle screws. Oooor, you can just do what I do: turn up the idle speed screw so it idles at 1200 rmps and then it doesnt matter if she's set up right since she's partially in primary circuit anyway. All that and I still score 23-24 mpg. Just soak down your holley with carb cleaner every few weeks and toss some fuelsystem cleaner in the tank to keep her flowing nicely.
