Do you guys know what Holley carbs are compatible with my 1980 CJ 7 4.2 258 straight 6? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
the holley web site is pretty useful with selecting a carb- you get to pick engine size, rev range, intended use, and options
If you want to run an Offenhauser or Clifford you can run a 4bbl Holley. Summit has some Holley 2bbl carburetors listed, but I think they are actually remanufactured Carter BBDs reman'd by Holley. I wouldn't necessarily recommend going with another Carter BBD, and other than that I would just recommend going with a Weber or Motorcraft 2100.
I agree, if you go with a different intake manifold like sub stated, you can go 2 or 4 barrell, of course with the costs of gas these days and future at $4 a gallon, I would go with a Weber (my preference for a 258) I use to run a Holley 390 which was nice and did work well, but eventually went back to a 2 barrell and it worked better than the 4. I don't like Holleys, but a carb is a carb, right, I decided to stick with Edelbrock for mine, but it works and fits my needs. I really should have gone FI. :shhh:Just my opinion.
I really lke the 390 cfm Holley. I get great mileage(for a CJ) around 20 mpg highway, and you can really feel the secondaries kick in when you stomp it.
Holley 470 Truck Avenger on mine. Best carb I've ever owned, and I've had a bunch of them. So easy to tune compared to most other carbs. Love it. 19mpg on my Buick compared to ~11mpg with the ol' Rochester 2jet.
