Watch the video on Gold's Garage channel with Bill Little and the Mopar 440 engine dyno test. They show how much the carbs flow on the dyno. They also thought that the flow numbers were incorrect on the 950 Holley, but they were wrong The 950 has smaller venturis than the 850 with the same size base plate. The smaller venturis are what make it flow more, not less. It apeeds up the airflow.
Great video Bub Gluten. Canaduhians...eh.
That is the color of my 1972 Runabout. I rebuilt a 260CI Shelby badged V-8 from a Sunbeam Tiger and swapped it in along with 4-speed manual trans, and later a C-3 (I think) with shift kit. Sounded great with the headers uncorked, and surprised a few Mustangs on the road.
That would be a neat car! Rare motor.
On any carburetor there is always a compromise between metering signal and airflow and you have to make a pretty large change in CFM to make a significant difference in performance but fuel curve and mixture quality is more important. On a 4150 style Holley carburetor there are better and worse combinations when it comes to this compromise. Any model where the venturi diameter is small relative to the size of the throttle plate is usually a more effective carburetor. A 4777 650 for example has a smaller venturi than a 4779 but the throttle plate remains the same 1-11/16 size. If the 650 is custom built using a down leg stepped booster instead of the standard straight leg it can become a very good piece that a 4779 would have a tough time out running on the track. The 850 was interesting because it introduced the 1-3/4 throttles but also the 1-9/16 venturi, this wasn't the best compromise and many people used to build a carburetor using the 4779 body with the 850 base plate. Later the 950HP evolved from this combination and using a down leg stepped booster and a body design that's built with no choke horn etc it became a really good off the shelf model. Does it flow 950? No but usually it'll out run an 850 pretty easily on an engine because its a better compromise when it comes to mixture and fuel curve.
There are other factors that allow the flow of a carburetor. All I know is just do not buy a another brand. .
The venture choke point and booster size may make the difference. Also if the stock jet is bigger it probably flows more air
Engine's are air pumps, that pump so many CFM's at a determined RPM. This can be calculated and is a good starting point for carb CFM needed. Check the carb size by vacuum, at full load and peak RPM. If you are seeing more than 1" of vacuum, your carb is too small. You want, 1" vacuum or less. That's pretty much how I do it, and have proved it on an engine dyno. Hope this helps?
When I flow tested Holley carbs (billet BLP parts) on a Superflow bench I would do so with the metering block area of the main body taped off on both sides so that no air could be drawn in through the boosters. I would flow each barrel individually so that I could match them when I "ported" or removed the casting flash in each venturi. They weren't too far off from factory ratings, usually they flowed more because of the aforementioned porting and also thinner throttle shafts. I had to convert from mercury to water column so the pressure drop was 20.4" of water for a 4 barrel and 40.8" for a 2 barrel. I agree, the other companies making Holley knock off's are not flowing their stuff...an annular discharge booster always flows less than a down leg or straight leg. Wet flowing is another thing all together...the numbers are lower because of the fuel displacing a portion of the air. Richer mixtures for blown applications or Ethanol, Methanol, etc. will flow even less...making the numbers look less impressive on paper. People should pay more attention to how much manifold vacuum their motor is making at redline to see if their carb is a restriction rather than paying attention to advertised flow figures. Good video!
@@goodgollyjosh Thanks for that.
My holley HP 950cfm has a 1.600 venturii
@@fbombcamaro434 the new HP Holley 950 is different from the Holley 950HP (80496). I know, it’s confusing.
Mine seem the better one, how much it actually flow who knows. The tuning is really bad on such a large venturii in relation to the throttle Bore. Quite disappointed in the carburator
@@fbombcamaro434 I don't know if one is better than another. The Holley 4781 850 has the same 1.6 or 1-9/16 venturi diameter as your 950... Do you have a 950 or 850, see what I mean?
4 barrels 1.5 in vac below the trottle at wide open 2 barrels 3 in below the trottle on a flow bench is how they are rated
Yes. But they are not correctly advertising them at that.
I dont know why this would be BS. They have flow benches to measure it. I suspect every carb flows less than advertised because the flow bench is an idealized condition. That cfm rating on the bench is probably at a 14.7 PSI pressure difference. In the real world, you never see that because most places are above sea level, and there are upstream restrictions like filters. Any upstream restriction will also cause a pressure drop ahead of the carb. That doesn't mean you can't use idealized cfm as a comparison tool.
To clarify: A carb with 1.75 throttle bores and 1-9/16 venturis flows 850-1050 depending on what they want to tell you. Another example is the 950HP with a 1-3/8 venturi is no where near 950 cfm. I have seen it reported to actually flow 790-830 cfm depending on who tests it. And the 750 Holley shares the same 1-3/8 throttle bores as the 950 HP. Basically, you can't stuff more through the same size hole at the same pressure. Advertised ratings are all marketing.
@claytonstoolbox it's more than just the size of the throttle bores. The aerodynamics of the venturis and plates affect cfm. The lead-in and lack of a choke plate probably also affects final cfm.
@ I know but that doesn't account for a giant spread, like 850-1050. Please explain the 80496 Holley 950HP to me, 1-3/8 venturies the same as the 750 Holley 4779. You think that flows 950 cfm? I'm preparing something else with more specifics and will post it in the next few days.
@claytonstoolbox there is a fair bit of rounding for marketing purposes. If there wasn't, it would end in odd numbers with a long string of decimal places. It's like motorcycle displacements. It makes sense that a 997 is a 1000, but somehow, a 636 is a 650. As with anything, there is also part to part variation. The numbers are there for a general comparison. A 750 flows more than a 600 and a 950 flows more than a 750. Many people run these on flow benches if you really want to know if a holley outflows an edelbrock of the same rating. None of that tells you which one will actually work better on your application. Max flow only happens for brief time during any acceleration. Most of the time, the engine rpm is still climbing toward max airflow or past it, and it's time to shift. The point is that it isn't BS. You can use it to select a carb for your application. It is just never going to be exact, and it isn't likely to matter if it were.
@@michaellowe3665 So a carb that flows 790 is rounded up to 950? lol
Interesting
@@t-bfr45-70 it’s kind of nuts. Since this video, I picked up a 1000HP it flows closer to 900cfm supposedly. 🤪
F.Y.I. Using a 50cc pump with 30 cc pump cam will provide the same pump shot as a 30cc pump. No need to put a smaller one on unless it interferes with the intake or something.
Awesome engineering!
I don't know about that, I was just a young guy building stuff and making mistakes when I built that car. But that's how you learn. It was actually fairly quick for what it was.
@claytonstoolbox So cool that you put parts from different vehicles/truck in your car and it worked!

Like it nice job
I have a 1953 International R-110 that my Dad bought in 1958. I was just a kid at the time but I still have that truck in my garage. It hasn’t run in years but I would never part with it. Your truck looks very nice.
😢😢😢👍🌟
55 kornbinder or hay bailer ?
Really awesome truck ! 😁👍
U didn’t even show the engine. 😢
Nice looking truck for the year ,you don't see to many old international 's around
Nice old truck. A friend of mine had a pick up truck that year
Very cool truck!
@@BradBradGdieselG thanks, under the patina she is almost new.
55 International is my guess.One of the most over built trucks ever made.Patina is perfect,you know ,your gonna regret selling it.I can hear it in your voice.Keep track of it.I had a 66 1ton,4 whl drive,304v8,4 spd,A true beast.I used to grade driveyway"s with the snowplow. Unstoppable.
Related to that patina: One great thing about many trucks of the old days is that the sheet metal was so thick that it could tolerate a lot of rust without getting substantially weaker. My dad had a '49 International pickup, and he had a freak collision on an icy road which deformed both front fenders. He never could straighten the fenders all that well. Just bending a large area of metal required mighty swings with an 8-pound sledge hammer. He told me he slammed it with big hammer blows for more than an hour before getting the fenders back to approximately the proper shape. Those kinds of hammer impacts would instantly punch right through the sheet metal of a modern truck, almost like paper, or at the very least would make a dent about a foot deep. There's just no comparison. I once saw a guy wack a two-pound hammer against the fender of a similar truck just to scare the guy who was behind the wheel into thinking he had backed into something. It barely even left a mark. That's more body strength than we "really need" in a truck, but it sure made the old trucks able to tolerate a lot of hard knocks when loading stuff into the cargo box.
I'm old school I worked for my neighbor and he had an international pickup
Nice looking old truck. I wish they still made them that simple again. Looks like you did a great job on it.
@@arthurradley4423 Thanks!
As a Swed it's fun to see someone over in the US appreciate the old Swedish rifles, as a gunsmith I have worked with many 1600 modell rifles. But now spare parts is impossible too find but they realrly break. the biggest ting is that the new hunters wet dream is a Blaser or if they can't aford it they go with Tikka t3. Keep up the work and keep us posted!.
Thanks!
Is there a particular reason you decided to run the scope so high and back so far?
I think your eyes are deceiving you as the scope is small. Hight and eye relief are perfect for off hand shooting. Not a bench gun.
The HVA actions were quality made and your rifle is a classic hunting rifle to be proud of. Nice job! I am also a fan of the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser cartridge, but a 270 Win is a truly classic caliber, and I have one of those too, that I made on a M98 Mauser.
Thanks!
You and me have more even more in common. I am huge 6.5x55 swede Mauser fan.
If you sit back far enough when you drive by people will look through both door glasses and it will look like the invisible man is driving. Cool!
Lol, its only a few inches.
Nice
Time for Lock-Tite. My brother had the same thing happen on his 2.3L Mustang.

Those ford racing lifters with the h on the end of the part number I believe will help you with your top end problems, when I was running them my car seemed like a beast everywhere then I switched cams and couldn't run them because the oil hole in the lifter popped up out of the lifter bore, so i ran some of the cheaper link bar lifters and it didn't seem as strong so I blamed it on the bigger cam so I switched back to the original cam and left the link bar lifters in it so I wouldn't have to pull the heads to get the link bar lifters out but now although it still pulls like a freight train its like its lost a lil bit of it's tough touch , but I don't know if it's that or this heat that we are having but im going with a set of trickflow 11rs and Im going to put the H racing lifters back in it with the swap. I feel like it be back to itself once I do that.
I think your right. I had the H lifters in the old engine I had in this car and it would rev well.
@@claytonstoolbox in the video where it showed u racing that other car ( I done forgot what it was now😆 ) who won that race and what does your car run in the eighth or quarter? It looks like it was running really well and looked to be a close race but it's hard to tell from behind
@@79beans347 Thats the same green Pinto. I never had it running right, but at an airport strip at 1900 ft, I had a best of 11.73@116 or 118 (1/4). Once I get this issue fixed, it should be better. Someone gave me that race video, I don't recall but the other car was twin turbo and all kinds of fancy stuff.
Many years ago a friend missed a shift in his 4 speed 360 Javelin and bent the pushrods. I agree your valve springs may have weakened and could be causing high RPM valve float. I had that issue with a Mustang SVO engine and remedied the problem with an upgrade to LS style beehive springs.
Thanks, Javelins are awesome. I should have it apart in a day or so.
Interesting combo.
Ya, long story as to what inspired this. I'll do a video on it sometime. I like stuff that takes lots of work and inequity.
Nice description of your high rpm issues. There are a couple of things to check. If the trans allowed the rpm to spike. The parts may have ran lean when you obviously got off the throttle. Scope the chambers and look for any damage. The ignition may have been effected or damaged. With my latest videos, also check valve springs. Pull one and see if they have lost some pressure. They may not be able to control the valve train and are getting weak. Your compression tester may be lower value, but the compression variables is all that matters. A 6 psi difference is good. I would be willing to bet...the valve springs are your high rpm issue. Or a combination of springs and ignition. Nice car...
Thanks, I really like your videos, super informative. I ordered lifters and I have some new springs here. I will be replacing everything so I can see what she can actually do on the strip.
Nice video! I'm not sure about the top end problem.
Thanks I'm eager to take it apart and repair it.
That was an interesting way to test. Great idea!
