Hey guys if you're worried about your Holley gaskets tearing all you have to do is take a tube of chap stik and run it over the gaskets.....believe it or not it works, learned that in Hot Rod years ago, keep up the good work dude and " let's go Brandon and let's go Junkyard Jet 👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅
Guitar strings are good for cleaning jet's and things, you can choose between sizes - electric guitar string set comes with 6 wtrings so you can choose the size. Good video!
They’re also great for tuning your idle feed circuit. Sticking one in each IFR cures the rich low speed cruise situation Holley’s are known for. I know some use them to tune their power valve mixture also
Another great video, even though I don't agree with several of the anti Holley comments made.Two tips when working on them.#1 when replacing the needle and seat I always put a small dab of grease on the rubber O ring that seals the needle and seat to the float bowl to prevent damaging the O ring.#2 I always keep chap stick in my Holley "box" to coat the metering & float bowl gaskets so they won't stick.Chances are,if you stay into cars, as you get older you'll realize the superior performance design of a Holley over an Eldebrock.Not saying Eldebrock is a bad carb,but the next time you go to the track,take note how many you see of each.There's a reason.
@@DaddysMoneyGarage I have nothing but great experience with Holley carbs. I have a 4160 600 CFM on my 79 D-150 with a cast iron NON-egr intake and headers on the stock 318, it runs great. When I had to drive it back in forth to work, mine got 16 MPG at 60 mph. So don't sell the Holley short, so it can be a great street carb as well as long as you have it tuned right.
Edelbrock is a decent street carb but when it comes to performance nothing beats a holley. People who call holley junk are just people who don't understand them or know how to tune one
You’re not wrong admittedly. I’ve been watching the latest roadkill garage. The tune of the crusher impala and boy it’s so informative. I wish I’d seen this in 1985 or 86 when I was trying to tune the Holley as a teenager with no equipment or spare jets, power valves, or mentor. Never too late to learn, im having a blast with all of this!
Thoroughly enjoyed :). There are such things as orifice cleaners that come in a set similar to feeler gage sets. Your sound quality is much improved...kudos. 😊
Hey guys the first thing is to make sure you know for shure what carb. You have. 2 call your carb maker. Ask questions. Demon carbs are made in Georgia. (Good guys) They will tell you exactly what you need many universal rebuild kits have almost right gaskets and parts that's not good enough. Also read the paper work first take a lot of pictures don't force anything work in a CLEAN AREA!!! take your time. A spec. Sheet is there for a reason close is not close enough BTY if you can find a shop with an ultrasonic clean machine that's the way to go....a GOOD rebuild can be as good or better than brand new attention to detail is the KEY
@@stevesmoneypit6137yes, that's the reason why they have become so rare, and as a result has made them a kind of sought after collectors car, even though they are really a novelty item these days having a road worthy example is not something you really see anymore.
@@stevesmoneypit6137 no they're great little cars!! I drove one for years when I was a teenager and only thing I had to do to it was put a alternator on it. I'd say 6yrs and that was my only issue speaks for itself and back then I could run almost a month on 10 dollars in gas lol
Another suggestion is to use a magnetic tray, cake pan, or a cookie sheet for carb parts. That should help to keep any parts from escaping. Also, for tight screws, I recommend a hand impact driver. They look like an all steel screwdriver. What you do is strike the end of the driver while placing a slight amount of turning pressure on the driver. The literal impact of the hammer drives the tool into the screw while applying impact turning torque. This way will break screws loose without stripping the head of the screw.
Is John consenting to be locked in your basement? Can't wait to see you run the Junkyard jet. My first holley rebuild was my dominator for my olds.. I have an edelbrock for if I wanna cruise. Then my tunnelram and holley for my local strip
In about 30 plus years of working on cars… 15 of those professionally every day. Only twice have I seen/heard anyone prefer an Edelbrock/Carter carburetor over a Holley. Those two times are here and Uncle Tony 😂
Bailing wire 🤣🤣 Non important detail but, stainless steel wire has some spring to it and is better for cleaning passages. Than bailing twine 😆 or rebar /tie wire. Bailing wire might be a thing, but I've never seen a roll!
I'm surprised that young men like yourselves know what a Yugo is. And no, never buy a Yugo. Car magazines at the time said that you could get a lightly used Toyota or Honda for the same price as a Yugo that would be better in every possible way. They were right.

Pro tip: If you don't over-torque the bowl screws, you won't bust them off. LOL!... Just giving you shit! Love the video!

Oh I know there’s a reason. I used Holley carbs until I met Tony. The Holley is the right choice for our intentions, no doubt.

@@DaddysMoneyGarage Also if you want to see some great carb tuning vids, ThunderHead289 has quite a few.
Holley is trash, end of story.
So the last step of the Holley rebuild is to order the edelbrock? Ok good I’ve been doing it that way for years! Lol. Thanks for the chuckle gents

@@jonathanlawson4667 joke is they make a race carb to, so yes Edlebrock is still better and unlike Holley, Edlebrock is still USA made
Always buy a Yugo when it comes up.
Guitar strings make good wire for cleaning carbs too, I've unwound the thicker ones in a pinch but the skinny ones work great
That room reminds me of the basement from that 70s show..... 🤣

Those gaskets you threw over your shoulder at the beginning of the video are base to body gaskets, which weren't replaced.
Thanks for the video, I just rebuilt my dads demon in a half hour lmao
TIP : Rub plain chap stick on both sides of the gasket,if you have to pull the carb apart they will not tear and will last a couple of disassemblys.
Yugos are super rare in the US, most were junked in the 90s, if it's in decent shape for reasonable money, buy the yugo.
Gas monkey turned one around and made a grand
Thought they were junked off showroom floor 🤔
@@stevesmoneypit6137yes, that's the reason why they have become so rare, and as a result has made them a kind of sought after collectors car, even though they are really a novelty item these days having a road worthy example is not something you really see anymore.

Thats why they call it turning wrenches and not pulling triggers.
I wonder if you coated the gaskets with a real light coat of petroleum jelly if that would keep them from sticking? I would ask Uncle Tony.
Yes on the YUGO!
The old John Deere tractors used to have John Deere specific thread pitches.

Rub some chap stick on your gaskets , will help with any sticking problem.
John ,Yogo buy that you go. And race it!
Coat your gaskets with cherry chapstick - no more torn gaskets.
Absolutely buy the Yugo
Bowl gaskets. Add thin coat chapstick on them they never tear and still seal great. Or.... Update to the new Holley bowls for the quick change jets

Had no idea how entertaining watching something so painful could be !
Buy the yugo!
Buy the YUGO! Sounds like a fun venture. You could put a small turbo on it for fun.
Buy the Yugo and put a 454 big block with a 3 speed saginaw manual transmission plus a quadrojet carburetor!
Quality content
In about 30 plus years of working on cars… 15 of those professionally every day. Only twice have I seen/heard anyone prefer an Edelbrock/Carter carburetor over a Holley. Those two times are here and Uncle Tony 😂
I run Holley carburetor on every thing I can
As an old plumber, please turn those channelocks around. They are directional.
Wayne's World..
F@∅king Perfect!!
🤘👀🇺🇲
Any chance that kit # was 37-119?
Shoulda went with a quadrajet.
Did you buy the Yugo?
1st float
Here’s an ole Indian trick for you boys. Spray down your gaskets with wd-40 you’ll thank me next time you take your carb apart 🤙🏼
Bailing wire 🤣🤣 Non important detail but, stainless steel wire has some spring to it and is better for cleaning passages. Than bailing twine 😆 or rebar /tie wire. Bailing wire might be a thing, but I've never seen a roll!
I’m known to come up with my own words for things lol
Put all the gaskets in baby powder in a gallon bag and shake, they won’t tear when you rebuild again.
Get the Ugo. Take it on power tour
Glad I skipped all these steps and just bought myself a edelbrock instead Lol.
buy it
If Uncle Tony watches this video, he is going to spank you Austin.
Float is to high. Your bottom line of measure starts about 1/4 of inch before lines of actual measurement.
Buy the Yugo, ignore the fact that you'll never financially recover from it
We’re not gonna financially recover from anything we do on this channel lol
@@DaddysMoneyGarage Might aswell go full send then lmao
Buy the yugo!!
buy the yugo they are worth money these days
Who the fuck has a Holley 650 on a Yugo?????????????????????????????
Well, uh, no one but now you’re giving me an idea.
One day America will realise metric is a better system. Austin I think you will agree, as you clearly don't understand imperial measurements. 😁
I understand both, I was more confused as to why the ruler was printed in such an odd fashion lol
Shouldn’t the title be the opposite?
That's free what are you complain about
I wasn’t complaining, in fact it’s on the car right now.
I'm surprised that young men like yourselves know what a Yugo is. And no, never buy a Yugo. Car magazines at the time said that you could get a lightly used Toyota or Honda for the same price as a Yugo that would be better in every possible way. They were right.
