Hi gang
I have the Holley 850 Model 4150, which I will show both a link and a pic
Holley Carb I have
Now heres my question...I have the Edelbrock RPM intake. The base/carb flange is simply a big square bore with the metal rib in the middle, running from front to back.
I have bought enzo's turkey pan and while farting around with the cutouts etc I went for another carb gasket....This is the first time I had really paid any attention to the bottom of the carb and all its intricate porting and runs between the primary and secondaries.
My question is I guess I can't use a simple open gasket the big square style...can I ?
I was wondering what exactly do I need to seal off the bottom of the carb properly for all the little porting routes to function properly...what's wilder is that the metal to back up the gasket properly just won't seem to be there in the edelbrock RPM flange.
I wish I could post a pic of the carb upside down for you guys to see what I am getting at.
Heres a pic of the gasket I believe i need...if so do I need two of the same with the turkey pan?? I have the 1 3/4" butterflies on prim. and sec.
Gasket info link
There are four duct/channels for flow between the 4 butterflies in the very center, like a cross, as well there ..other channels cut in the flange on the outer edge of the flange.
Anyone else using this combination?? I imagine the bottom of a 750 double pumper shouldn't be much different. What should I do?
