Quick Fuel vs Holley

[Ultimike]

Good evening all,

I've been recommended to change to Quick Fuel Carb over my existing Holley carb and would appreciate any experiences you guys might have had.

Moving to LS or FI isn't an option.

As always ones thanks in advance.

Id ask why? What is the Holley not doing that you think a quick fuel could do?

Ive just finished a rebuild of my holley and many problems as far as I have heard are down to either worn bits or not tuned or wrong carb size.

So I have no reason for not Quick fuel, but my question is why not Holley?

I am no expert in this field and hence my question.

Historicaly I understand that Holley Carbs are not the best or most reliable of carbs and require a lot of regular maintenance. Charles Dunn has stated the Quick Fuel is a superior carb in everyway and has interchangeable linkages for mild and fast road, plus track use which I feel is attractive.

I used a Quick Fuel carb and it was excellent. The one that I used was basically a billet Holley that had extensive options for tuning every fuel circuit. I learned a lot about carburetors using it. The small parts needed to tune it are either Holley or quick fuel.

Reading that page is not an option if you want your car to run well.

In the end I've switched to EFI. It is a night and day difference with regard to drivability. I need to pull my EFI manifold back off for porting and until I get this done the carburetor wins hands down for maximum power.

That's great information thanks.

Did you find the change to EFI difficult or expensive? I've been told there's a lot involved and that it wouldn't be cost effective.
