Project Holley Re-built carb, glorified test pipe, etc.

[88Accord-DX]

Just a pic of my up coming plans for my car. I know, stupid carb.. I spent some good dough on getting one that is from Holley.
The re-build kits don't come with everything I want to re-build the carburetor with.
There is new "glorified" test pipe there, pcv valve, gaskets for the carb, & new fuel filters (both), & O2 sensor, upper radiator hose....

Thanks Koney. That is re-built Kehien carb.(stock) from Holley. I should have got a Weber kit for little more money.

I have something you need, a big fat 1100CFM Holley Double Pumper, I actually have three. I ran a 600 CFM Holley 4-bbl on my 3G with a modded adapter plate and ran vacuum secondaries so I didn't wash my cylinders. Never actually got all four barrels open because the spring in my vacuum secondary controller was too stiff and I decided it would be better to not allow 4-barrels to open down the throat of my A20. I did however have my head P N P'ed and planed .045 to raise compression. Damn I want my 3G back...


EDIT: just playin about the 1100, I know A20A1 would flame me for days for suggesting that seriously.

That is pretty. Let us all know the improvement you make with the new parts Dereck. Also how the new "cat" bolts up and sounds.

That test pipe works well I can tell you

I've been working on it all week. I put the cat on. It doesn't exactly line up with the holes, must be off about 3/4" or so. It is also about 1" too freakin long. I wedged it up in there anyway. I had to heat up my exhaust pipe with a torch (cherry bomb) & twist it to get some of the bind out from the cat. That is some old school trick there.
The fuel filter by the gas tank needs some better hose clamps, leaks. I tie a loaf of bread tighter with a twisty tie - than them things for hose clamps Honda is using. The 02 sensor wasn't bad getting off. I had an 02 socket with a (bolt type) head on it, squeezed an open end wrench through the bottom on it (1 5/8") & broke it loose.
The PVC valve broke off in there, had to chip it out to put the new one in.
I got the (old) carburetor off & I can't get the EFE plate loose from the intake manifold. I want to take the plate off to put a new gasket underneath it. I got to see about what I'm going to do about it tomm.
