Carb opinions, for a holley marine carb
Hi all,
I am planning to replace the original q-jet carb on my 1987 OMC (Chevy 350) stern drive. I just want to get opinions on the Holley Marine carb (model 90552). I have basically found a new holley for the price of a Sierra remanufactured q-jet. Is this an Ok product or have people had major problems with holley in marine applications? thanks for the advice, the website for the carb is http://www.holley.com/0-80552.asp mark |

Holleys are great carbs. Infinitley tuneable and highly reliable. Very
simple beasts, too. If you get one I recommend buying some books on them. Butch "r_d" wrote in message om...

You won't have any trouble with a holley. They are a very reliable carb.
They are not known for their midrange economy though. Less of an issue on a boat where the gas consumption is a lot higher anyway. "r_d" wrote in message om...
