All of these pieces are used to tune the basic Holley carburetor. These color-coded springs are also available from speed shops (along with various sizes of accelerator pump nozzles). With the vacuum-secondaries, diaphragm springs are used to control opening speeds. Jets for the Holley carb are readily available from Holley at most speed shops. However if you plan to replace the production 2- or 4-barrel carb, this is one of the most popular choices. This 750 carb was not installed on Chrysler production V8s. While it is generally considered too large for 318 engines and too small for the big block stroker motors, it is the most readily-available vacuum secondary carb in the Holley line-up and therefore works well on all V8 engines.
This specific version has vacuum secondaries, which allow it to work in street applications (and with automatic transmissions in performance competitions). You could call the Holley 750-cfm carburetor the standard in the performance industry.
But, today’s performance approach yields a problem – more cubic inches, bigger cams, better heads, better exhaust all up the fuel demand which in turn, creates fuel tuning issues.
The basic 4-barrel carb was installed on small blocks (318 & 340) and on big blocks (383 & 440) so there is a wide range of engines to use as baselines. Carburetors are still very popular today, in all the non-production applications. By the early 1990s carburetors were replaced in production by multi-point fuel injection (MPI). Most muscle car engines from this period used carburetors as the basis for the induction system. The 1960s and 70s was a time when automotive performance and big, powerful engines became synonymous with racing, restoration, car shows, auctions and cruises.
