[grydergeyer26]

i got a alky carb for my mini stock and was wondering were i should start jet wise i ran 76 jets n my gas carb somebody said double it is that right it came with 162 and 164 jets

Alky carb

I assume this is a 500 cfm carb and if it is we run 136-138 jets for a 2348 CC engine. It was a rocket off the corner. Robert

[grydergeyer26]

[grydergeyer26]

wjat intake would u run esslinger or efi

Depends on what metering block you have. Does the metering block accept the large Alky jets? If so, 140's is in the ballpark.If it has the hole above the jets *which I don't like* then depending on the hole size probably 84's or so.

No. Run it and you won't want to go back to gas. Substantial difference.

I assume when you say alcohol, you mean methanol, not ethanol, which is available in E85 pump gas, correct?

[grydergeyer26]

what squirter did u run and accel pump on your methanal carb

[grydergeyer26]

need help what fuel pressure regulater do u run i am running no return line

[grydergeyer26]

help anyone or does anyone know were i can get it

[let-r-eat]

Regular ole holley regulator will work. Use the holley needle and seat brand only and around 6.5 on the fuel pressure. The holley brand needle and seat will hold more pressure before over running the float. Get everything warm and set the idle. The idle will tend to rise after a heat race because heat makes the engine more efficient with alky making it have a leaner idle when warm and idling up.

[grydergeyer26]

so i dont have to run a return

[purestock45]

no return needed as long as your not over 8 psi...alk. motors tend to like more timing also..
