Holley jetting, PV baseline
« on: June 14, 2022, 09:28:06 AM »
Good amount of experience with this stuff, just not a lot with boats. Holley 750 vacuum secondary on a 455 Olds in a jet boat.  Where would you start for a jet and power valve?  I'll get the vacuum gauge out and do it right after a bit.  Just looking for a starting point.

Thanks!  I'll check that out.  Took old 750 Edelbrock off last night and found the spread bore/square bore adapter upside down ‍♂️.  For now I put in a Holley 750 vac sec, with 72 primary jets, a 4.5 power valve, and the light (white) spring for the secondary while I rebuild the double pumper I just got.  Gonna check ignition timing and reset it to 12* initial, 34 all in by 2500 and disconnect the vacuum advance, and see where that gets me.  Hope to be testing in the water Sat

Speedway has a vacuum advance block off plate for GM HEI distributors. Waaayyy more accurate spark than a rubber diaphragm trying to hold things steady.

As far as jets, if I remember right, my 750 VS had 74's in the front, and a 6.5 PV. And lightest spring in the secondary diaphragm.

Ran it with 72s, white spring, 4.5 pv.  Ran decent WOT at 4K, but plugged 2 more filters and fought me home?  runs good for about 90 seconds - 2 minutes then starts to bog from plugged filters.  Didn?t notice right away, but 30 seconds after it died I watched the fuel filter contents fall off the element to the bottom.  Spent most of the afternoon resealing the thermostat housing (to find it empty) and then switching to a 4160 from a edelbrock?.
