Yes, there is, and I have plans to see them sometime early next
year. Right now the temps are a bit below freezing and getting the
car out isn't in the near term plans.<br>

<div>When I got my Dino the carbs had been changed to another

Holley fuel pump, rejet carbs on dyno, and electronic ignition

bgcolor="#ffffff"> Hi all,<br>
<br>
This year (2013) at the Silver State Classic Challenge, I
recorded a top speed in the trap of 130.7 MPH. When I
reached the countdown to the trap I was already doing just
shy of that to bank time before the Narrows. I
consciously pressed the accelerator a bit more to push her
up to a goal 135 MPH, but nothing happened.<br>
<br>
I speculate at 130 MPH, I'm using up all the carb, or all
the fuel pump. One, the other, or both.<br>
<br>
The Carb is a Ford stamped Holley list with these numbers:<br>
<pre>D8PE-9510-KA
LIST 8414
3113
</pre>
This link shows my email back in 1999 with info from
Holley that I obtained.<br>

Apparently it's a 600 cfm. it has vacuum secondaries and
three-quarter turn emission lockouts on the mixture
screws. I've put a standard rebuilt kit through it once
or twice. It's been a really good carb, but I don't know
it will pull more than 130 MPH.<br>
<br>
What to do.<br>
As always, money is a bit of an issue. I'd like to
install EFI but that's really expensive.<br>
I'd like to keep it responsive at low rpm like she is now,
but still have the throughput needed at higher rpm at top
speeds. I think this leans me toward a vacuum secondary
rather than mechanical. I'm sure the cfm needs to be
cranked up, but would 650 do it or should I head for 700
or higher?<br>
<br>
Does anyone have one they'd be willing to part with?<br>
Should I send mine into someone like Chuck Nuytten and
have them do their magic on it, replacing metering blocks
and other mods?<br>
Should I just buy a new one?<br>
<br>
The engine is a 351C bored .030 over, stock stroke.<br>

<br>
I've got some time so I'm looking for some
informed/experienced opinions on what carb would be best.<br>
<br>
And since Professor Engles from the Midwest Division of
the Pantera Research Institute is engaged with Fuel pump
questions, I'll just follow his thread on that part. :)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
