BobBrumby Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 As the title said i have put on my holley. The only big hangups that i had was the manifold that came on my brumby has a smaller hole in it than the one on the adapter plate so i had to use one of my spare manifolds and a coolent leak caused by thermostat fallin out in the process of bolt the housing down. It pretty much started first go. Also I forgot to plug a vac line and that caused dieselling for about 15 seconds. I have just turned 18 and my first real mechanicing with the help of my dad it only took about one whole days work. I have yet to take it for a spin. Another problem is i cant close my bonnet cause of the air filter. Also could someone explain how the air/fuel screw works and the tuning proceedure?

BobBrumby Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 there just one more problem i have a small coolent leak from under the t-stat housing or where the uppper heater hose comes into the manifold but i am quite sure its the housing. I used a new gasket n all also used gasket cleaner and blade and got the surfaces realy clean before reinstalling it so it has me bushed. I might get some gasket sealer from REPCO and see if that solves it. You guys have any suggestions that doesnot involve removing the manifold if possible? By the way this is the second time i have put the housing back on and its just a little leak. My radiator hose clamp was also a bit loose but after tighening its still got a leak.

chef_tim Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Make sure the Tstat is dead on center. if they get a little off they will not only cause a leak but if you over tighten it you can break the housing. Later, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
