Holleys'

[Ristow]

got 2 holleys ready for service this weekend.well,one's waiting on the gaskets.


that's a 4180 from an 80s' ford on the right,going on soon-to-be Angies '79 cherokee.and a model 4010 on the left,a blatant copy of the autolite 4100,which i've read was built by holley,to autolite specs,for autolite.this one is going on my '83.

these universal and/or emission type carbs tend to have alot more vacuum fittings than are needed,capping them doesn't last long as the caps rot and leak,so i pull the fitting,tap the hole and thread a set screw in there.if you need the fitting later screw-in type are available.

Sounds like a plan, looks good too. Got me thinking about a 4bbl swap.

Nice work Mike. The 4100 was indeed a joint venture between Holley and Ford, so was the 2100 and the derivitives of both. I had a 4100 on my 64 Comet that I was very pleased with. Worked well and was easy to rebuild.

Good idea on the set screw to block off unneeded/unwanted emissions ports.

4180 is a 650?

Cool. I like the set screw idea. Lemme know how the 4180 works on the Chero, since mine shall be going on my Chero in the spring. Did you ever find those choke settings, I haven't found them yet, but I do have two more Mustang books here that I haven't looked in, they are more about upgrades than maintenence though.

the 4180 is a 600 lindel. also,autolite/motorcraft 2100/2150 boosters drop right into that model 4010!


yep,got the info dan,bought a rebuild kit off ebay for 20 bucks and it had the info.

i currently have a 4180 on my cherokee,i like 'em.runs very well,and they're cheap,they're really just an upgraded 4160.

when you get closer to getting yours ready,lemme know,i have the part #'s for the few "special" 4180 gaskets you'll need,and you can buy them separately,then use a cheaper 4160 kit for everything else,if it needs it.

I'm running that 600cfm 4180. I put the 4bbl carb and manifold on when I did the top half on 90 Wag.

What a difference it makes going from the stock 2bbl Motorcraft to the Edelbrock/Holly setup!!:cool:
