ive got a holley 2210 2bbl on a 318 in my fifth avenue. i had it on before and when i would hit the throttle it would cut out and if it was under load like at a red light it would stall. i rebuilt the carb and it still cuts out but doesnt stall out like before. the accelerator pump is adjustable and i was wondering if i should adjust it for more fuel or if its something else?

1st check if the squirt starts AS SOON as you move the throttle lever

yeah it squirts as soon as you move the throttle. it doesnt kind of stutter or bog out its an instant cutout of the engine

ported or manifold vacuum & whats your initial

the initial timing is at 7* total mechanical is at 17* and the total with vaccum is at 30. i dont know what the vaccum is but there are no leaks anywhere. it idles and cruises fine though.

to answer if you have ported or manifold vacuum to the dist see if you have vac to the dist at idle. Your timing is off, it should be very close to 35 total(w vac adv DISCONNECTED) at the point where it stops advancing even if that is 3500 or more then see where that puts your initial at,going the other way you might bump your initial up to 10 or 12 for a start & see how it acts & what that puts your total at(again w no vac adv hooked up). then reconnect your vac adv & take her out.

i set the timing to the specs you gave me. didnt help any. i do have the vac on the right line though.

Do you have vac to the dist at idle?

no

thats ported vacuum & my thought was that if it was manifold vacuum that it could be loosing enough(of the dist vac adv) when you cracked the throttle & that could be killing it but not the case here. Unless there's a vacuum leak I'd continue to suspect the carb but I am out of ideas . Your timing is VERY slow & I would keep it at the std SB baseline which is ~35 total(vac adv unhooked) with a reasonable initial ~10btdc or so. As long as your not pinging & it cranks Ok your timing isn't too far advanced(w your new settings) but back to original problem...

went around it with a spray bottle. intake has all new gaskets and no leaks. just did a complete rebuild. not my first one either. still runs good just hesitates about a half second when you floor it.

Only thing I could think of is adjust the amount of travel it has to change the shot. Could bog/stumble if it's too lean, or too rich, right?

ive tried adjusting the level of the accelerator pump and it did nothing. i do have it on a 4bbl intake though but i know someone else who has a 2bbl on a 4bbl intake and has no problem with it.

it will stall if under load and i hit the throttle.

it did this with the old accelerator pump and that one wasnt ripped and i checked this one and its fine.

ive emailed holley and called them 3 times but cant get ahold of anybody.

check your idle speed set to spec, your idle mixture setting, your choke adjustment and your float level setting.

man get a Q-jet and stick on that 4-v intake

you have a holley gas hole thats a pos on a good day,IMO

I bet it has leanburn ign too

another one of the probs with it

I know..I junk what I dont understand

but I have fixed more by a striped down Q-jet and a dist with a set of points or pertronix conversion a many a times...

mine snaps from 650 idle to wot with no hic-ups

but thats my
