Holley refuse to sell spare part for carb

I whas hunting for new boosters to a 440 six pack outboard carb
and askt Holley for help but they said whe have them but only suply
it when sent in for restoration/repair by them self so they refuse to sell them
thoe i have the corekt tool to install them ! Have they gone mad or whats up
whit a brand like that

Happening a lot these days and why companies are saying screw Holley and making or having parts made for themselves like I'm doing now w/billet 4150 and Dommy banjos....

The work they do dont inpress me either

A lot of those type of carb “hard parts” for Holley carbs have never been available to the general public.

Just try a few different established carb builders, they can usually get those type of parts.

I used to buy boosters from BLP.

Chicago Corvette might be another good spot to try.

I use to have their phone number but not now
They bought all of Holleys six pack carb parts inventory back in the late 1990s or early 2000s
Try and work with them

I can help you out with that problem.

Thanks guy's 👍

About 20 years ago Holley told me they stopped selling boosters to the public because somebody installed them incorrectly - The booster fell out and the throttle stuck wide open. People got killed and Holley was sued. Sounds like a logical answer. -Ray Barton

That corporate explanation might even be true. Although it sounds more like an excuse to me... (and anyone can sue anyone for anything in our wonderful legal system, but don't get me started)


After all, Holley is still selling butterflies and screws, and throttle linkage parts, baseplate and manifold gaskets, etc. which if improperly installed can cause the same problem!

Would be great if you could !

Some humans can screw up a car whit a screwdriver

i know guys that can screw up ANYTHING just by looking at it !

I know people who can screw up a 50 ton wrecking ball in a sandbox with a feather

That must be a world record Cab
