oh i do. but like i said way to many gaskets for way to many makes yes i know all about the no sticky gaskets. holley did not used them and it is fun for the first times getting them apart with the stock sticky ones i have mill the main bodys flat mill chocke horns off turned a dual feed out of a single feeds and have made a single pumper to a double pumper and done just about any thing you can do to a holley for me and for my customers. i do not like the price and the quality you get for it and buy jets gaskets power valves or power plugs and for $50 later you may have something that may work better that aQ jet or a carter or maybe not? like i said i use a 4500 holley and have had one for many moons but i do not like keeping $100 of holley stuff to do a 20 dollar job

you can do a lot more with the Eddy's than the Holley's if you know how. a 40.00 kit of rods and springs and you can make it do anything. almost that is.

I didn't want to say that, I thought I had the only carb. that could talk, and nobody would believe me.

or wet your plugs.

mine can whistle a tune sometimes.
