Holley Red or Blue for a Carbed fc?
Hi,
I have a CarTech 2 double barrel carb system in my 2nd gen and I was wondering if you guys think that a Holley blue (110 gph freeflow) or a holley red (97 gph free flow) would be adiquit for the setup ive got. It used to have a small facet pump in, but it blew last weekend. Thanx!

If it ran good with the Facet, you'll only need the "red" 12-801-1. The $65 jump in price can't be justified by a marginal increase in performance for the "blue" 12-815-1. On top of that, you'll need a $23 regulator to bring down the "blue"'s 9 PSI line pressure. If you're racing for money at a track, that's one thing. If it's a street car, the difference in price can't be justified...

The holley blue comes with a regulator so when you factor that in the price difference isn't as great. Besides you'll probably need a regulator for the red as well. How much pressure do your carbs require?

I didn't know Facet made a regulator. When you get your Holley, I'd be interested in buying it. How do you know what pressure it's regulating at? Do you have a pressure gauge or is the regulator marked?
