Your one in a million that actually just gets down into information and showing the process. Not self glamorizing and posturing. Your awesome man hope this gets to help people
Boy I tell ya, Uncle Tony is the freakin MAN. Straight to the point, no b.s., and the Holley on my small block is running like it should all thanks to this man here. Thank you buddy!
Holley use to have lots of recommendations and tuning tips on their web site. Usually with a rebuild kit there are lots of little tips in the instructions as well. I've owned lots of Holleys and still have a whole shelf full of them. once you learn to tune them you won't want to run anything else.
Agreed. I used to have an Edelbrock and thought it was great and I guess I still do. I now have a double pumper and took the time to learn as much as I could about it (there's always more that I could learn though) . I've been running the Holley for over a year now and I love it.
I had a tough time setting my idle mixture screws using a vacuum gauge because the cam I had at the time gave a choppy idle. My Dad came down for a visit and set them by ear. You guys are old Skool cool!!!
WOW, Tony. Thanks a bunch for bringing back Fond memories. Of tuning and setting up the normal Holleys and the Double Pumpers. Had a Large double on my 350 Chevy small block. After getting it in place and bringing the fuel in right. Would take my truck around the block and after setting every thing just right. My Truck would dance! Foot off of the Gas. Almost dead stop, just rolling. Tap the Gas it would jump forward again! Any good music worked. LOL Any Long Highway or Freeway traveling. Just cut the Gas out until before dying. Back a touch, then adjust idle to lower rpms. Best way to get better MPG, and save cash too. There isn't any vehicle that you can't tune just right with those Hollys! Thanks again for the video. And it looks like you had Fun doing it too!
Thank you!!! I obtained a 79 vette from a good friend on mine and it always ran way out of whack. I noted the original settings once you explained what everything was. I followed your steps and now it's running great! It used to misfire, choke on start ups, way too high idling while cold, etc. What a difference!
Uncle Tony, I enjoy the heck out of all your videos. Currently restoring a '72 Dart and a '78 Dodge Adventurer and your videos help me a lot. Really hoping you make the shirt "I am the computer!" I'll buy it!
we used to rebuild these carbs 40 yrs ago when we had a fleet of 460 fords. you are spot on when it comes to the external adjustments. we were always replacing the 'power valve', usually a eng back fire would take it out... the problem we had was that very few guys knew how to rebuild them & set them up. an old school mech showed me how & it wasn't that bad once you rebuilt a couple of them.. i was glad when they sold off those 460 fords though!
Just finished my 302 install that I talked to you about on live stream once! It's bored out to a 312 that's why I called it that during the stream. I got the engine basically running but my timing is way off so after I get that I put a basic carb tune like the one you mentioned here on it. Thank you so much for many great years of expert advice! I wouldn't be in the place I am today without your guidance
HAPPY Thanksgiving Uncle Tony and family! 🇺🇸🙏 Best wishes, always. Thank you for all your sharing. ❤ We are so lucky to be living in a time that provides us with teachers like you. Much appreciation from CA.
I can't thank you enough for that video, you helped me alot with tuning and my carb myself and saved me time and money... i searched a lot about tuning holley carbs but all of them includes tools and gauges that I can't find any where around me...
Thanks for this video. I just recently purchased an 83 Camaro Z28 that had been swapped with a SBC 350, and have spent the last 2 weeks rebuilding most of the mechanicals from the ground up, replacing what needed replaced. I have it moving down the road now, but it needs some tuning, it has some hesitation when the throttle is mashed but accelerates smoothly if I ease into the throttle. I've never tuned a carb, but this video makes me think I at least have a shot at it. Holley DP 4150 is what I am working with. Thanks again!
Old school is the best school. Appreciate the breakdown. Got one these carbs for free for my 79 camaro project and used to using edelbrock. Surprisingly simpler than I thought they were
Thanks U.T. Learned a lot there, I’m currently staring at the 2 bbl Holley that’s going on my 225 Buick. I’ve always had QJs or carters, with a little Weber mixed in. Thanks again! Will
Thanks Uncle Tony you have simplified the Process and made it very easy for me to dial in my Holley Carb you have given me the confidence and Knowledge I was after your Da Man and I mean that Sincerely it was a Pleasure watching your Video and Thank you Greatly Appreciated
Thank you so much for this video! I've been so intimidated to work on my Holley and the way you explained everything made it a snap even for an idiot like me :)
Hey Uncle Tony, been having issues with my Holley 390 cfm on my checy 230 straight six. It ran like crap. Followed your tips and got to say the engine is smooth as silk now. Thank you sir.
Great refresher , as it's been , well lets just say I had hair way back then, in 1972, LOL and was tuning Rochester 4 Barrel carbs and some Holly's , Thanks for the video
I bought a new Holley 2300 and installed on an AMC 304. I just didn't run right, so my son and I watched this video and followed the directions. Once we got to adjusting the idle jets it all felling place and everything runs great. thanks
Perfect Step one ! Now I want the step 2 and the advanced tuning for my 72 Satellite ! Keep goin' man, you're the best, i watch all your videos ! Greetings for you and uncle Katty ! Nico, from France.
Spot-on carb setup tips! Follow these directions and you should have Fuel injection-like drivability and throttle response. Maybe not cold start perfection but damn near it.
People, usually under 40, ask me why I don't run EFI. I tell them you can't beat carbs for cost, ease of tuning and performance. Yes, it took me years to really fine tune my skills with carbs, but once you do then the cost and performance advantages really shine. Thanks for keeping the flame bright Uncle T!
Great video Tony,back to basics. I hope you do more videos on the Holley as I always read on forums that "I had a 'brand X' and it ran like crap and I put a 'other brand X' on and it runs twice as good....I would never buy a ' 1st brand X' ...there garbage. I feel if people should learn how to diagnose and repair the problem rather than just replacing parts until they hit the problem. I like Holley, Eddy (carter) and Q jets and they all get bad raps, some people blame the brand when in fact it is their own lack of knowledge and inexperience that is the problem........rant over!
Bought a 350 Chevy with a Holley. Leaked; replaced it with an Edelbrock that was laying around, runs great. Hope to build the Holley soon but looks complicated with the different cams, other adjustments and jet sizes. Rebuilt a Quadra jet years ago and it worked very well.
Was always told when I was a young man, only 2 men and god knew how to tune holleys properly.........well I paid attention to the one man I knew and learned from him, but I think I just met the god lol. Great video Tony, you never disappoint!!!!
Interesting information Uncle Tony, although the Holley Manuals can be jam packed full of Carburettor goodness, they can be a little vague at times. Wholly, I think the eagerness young blokes can be at fault here wanting bolton power - fit and forget so to speak - and wonder why they run into trouble for rushing a job they needed to take their time with. I believe the mystery of Holley Carburettor tuning is solved, so it makes more sense now. I did see and read an article last year where a double pumper was modified for street/bracket racing for aesthetics, power, metering and airflow, which was very interesting indeed. Thankyou for sharing this, Cheers :-)
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I recently rebuilt a Holley 600 and installed it on my Dart's 318. It runs good, but I think with these tips, it can run even better. Thanks!👍😎
I'll be there with ya soon Brother.. 4 barrel swap on 318.. I daily drive my Sleepy more door 68 Dart.. and even with her BBD double barrel I can put most cars in the rear view mirror on the freeway.. maybe next month.. peace and have great Thanksgiving day..
@@74dartman13 just Subbed.. my Brother will post some Video of my Car real soon.. he has 64 Dart we started working on.. not running yet.. I'll keep in touch..
I get lots of laughter and smirks when I open my hood at the gas station with a screwdriver and vacuum guage in hand. Seems like I'm always searching for that perfect tune
Incredible video my friend, I watched about 20 videos before I found yours and they all sucked, even one from jags. Thank you for explaining this. You’re the man
thanks Tony. I have a built 302 with a Holley Avenger 570 and I just could not seem to get it idling right. this video helped me alot and it runs fine now
Lol I was just doing this yesterday on my old bronco, idle was too high. My idle screw were way out but I think I got it close. Thanks Tony keep sharing the knowledge!
This has been an excellent series of tutorials. Even if you know most of the things covered it's still interesting... Thanks National Treasure... oh, and You too Tony...😄
Thank you for breaking it down! I just purchased an old square body Chevy truck that has one of these on it, and let's just say it is really out of whack right now. This will at least give me a starting point. Thanks again
You have to set all idle screws on the six pack I didn't know that 25 years ago had to get my dad to help back then very good info and a great channel thumbs up and subscribe
Looking for info on how to tune my holley brawler because my 305 is bogging down, gonna follow this video to a T! Best holley carb walkthrough by far on YT!
Holleys are great for all the external adjustments that can be done, especially setting the float levels over other carburetors. But they are big with a tight fit in dual quads applications, can rupture the power valve easily during an induction backfire and have several places to leak. For all out performance they are top of the heap though.
Thanks...It's good to know what I was doing wrong..My buddy builds my engines and sets them up..I think I know what I am doing and mess the carbs up sometimes lol... Why I touch the carbs? They stand out and look neat!!! I am painting his 2011 Dodge Ram 4500 roll deck right now..I checked in for my business emails,calls etc this morning,and what do you know UNCLE TONY!!! Now I am running late,Thank-You!! No seriously Thank-You!!! I work for myself so no hurry,love the content! Can't wait for the 6 pack RamCharger!!!
great info. Just reviewing as it is Spring, budget is tight, and trying to make sure my Edelbrock 1406 is dialed in, and timing is right on my '81 Dodge W250 ram w/ a 360la. New subscriber.

Nice breakdown! Probably basic for most but eye opening for others (including myself) how important it is to get back to the basic settings
This channel is one of the best things to happen for classic car enthusiasts.
These videos are GOLD. Good luck finding a shop that can do carb work. Thank you UT…
You sir are a champion, solid information that is well explained, easy to follow along and no other BS.
Very well done.
UNCLE TONY! Please keep it going woth the holley! We need to learn whats the next step on tunimg these! AS ALWAYS GREAT JOB!
As a 22 year old just getting into carburetors, I second that. Know the basics but need more of the fine tuning aspect of it.
I had a tough time setting my idle mixture screws using a vacuum gauge because the cam I had at the time gave a choppy idle. My Dad came down for a visit and set them by ear. You guys are old Skool cool!!!
We are spoiled rotten EFI! Tuning those carbs is an art form. Thanks Zio!
WOW, Tony. Thanks a bunch for bringing back Fond memories. Of tuning and setting up the normal Holleys and the Double Pumpers.
Had a Large double on my 350 Chevy small block. After getting it in place and bringing the fuel in right.
Would take my truck around the block and after setting every thing just right. My Truck would dance!
Foot off of the Gas. Almost dead stop, just rolling. Tap the Gas it would jump forward again! Any good music worked. LOL
Any Long Highway or Freeway traveling. Just cut the Gas out until before dying. Back a touch, then adjust idle to lower rpms.
Best way to get better MPG, and save cash too.
There isn't any vehicle that you can't tune just right with those Hollys!
Thanks again for the video. And it looks like you had Fun doing it too!
Tony, I can't properly articulate how much I appreciate your channel. Thank you Sir!
Just rebuild my first carburetor and used exactly the set up you said and it started up perfect. Thanks a ton!
Just stumbled on your channel a couple weeks ago and so glad I have. I have enjoyed your channel and info you are putting out. Keep up the great work!
possibly the best tuning video I ve found so far, short, sweet and to the point. can't wait to get home now and tune the Holley! Thank you
Thank you!!! I obtained a 79 vette from a good friend on mine and it always ran way out of whack. I noted the original settings once you explained what everything was. I followed your steps and now it's running great! It used to misfire, choke on start ups, way too high idling while cold, etc. What a difference!

fantastic video with clear and helpful instructions for those who want to learn about getting their car running smoothly.

Old school is the best school. Appreciate the breakdown. Got one these carbs for free for my 79 camaro project and used to using edelbrock. Surprisingly simpler than I thought they were
This is an informative video. Purchased a Holley 670 for my truck. Thanks for the help uncle Tony!
Uncle Tony is a natural speaker . Great explanation of carb tuning Uncle . Cheers
This is the best walkthrough of one of these that I've seen so far. Thank you
Tony, you are the king of "Keep It Simple Stupid." Best setup video for a carb I've ever seen.
Very well done, probably one of the best basic descriptions I have seen.

Thanks Tony, you explained the process very well and easy for the ordinary guy to understand.
Thanks for the info!! Needed this quick step by step guide. Haven’t set up a carb in 10 years, didn’t know much then and I forgot everything lol
I've never touched a Holley in my life. I'm no longer afraid. Look forward to learning more about them.

Awesome video Uncle Tony! I love learning about classic car-related, as an apprentice mechanic now we never get to learn about these!
Holleys are great for all the external adjustments that can be done, especially setting the float levels over other carburetors. But they are big with a tight fit in dual quads applications, can rupture the power valve easily during an induction backfire and have several places to leak. For all out performance they are top of the heap though.
Thanks...It's good to know what I was doing wrong..My buddy builds my engines and sets them up..I think I know what I am doing and mess the carbs up sometimes lol...
Why I touch the carbs? They stand out and look neat!!!
