I recently installed a new holley 750cfm double pumper and since then, i drained my oil to find a gallon of gas in it. The oil/gas mixture was sprayin out of the dip stick and somewhere else I cant trace. When i say spraying, I mean it was making puddles on the floor, after running for 20 seconds. Now It never did this before, I was just wondering if maybe it had something to do with the new carburerator or its just the worst I am expecting. Thanks.

Mechanical fuel pumps can get gas in the oil but even then that's kinda fast!

I hate hollys had them back fire on my 70 lemans sport and that was the last time i used a holly now i have an elderbroc cab. so much better...if you want to check the flots there is 2 of them passengers side of the cab. there is one screew on each bowl regule screew drive take that screew out with the car running if gas comes our you need to adjust it. On top there is a bigger screew with a nut under it tighting it i beleave makes less gas go in.You will have to do the same to the rear one...good luck...

I recommend something like a 780 cfm or something like that....single pumper...vacuum secondaries...if stock..that is ..if you still want a holley... just my thoughts... puting away my soap box now...
