Holley carbs.

[Rick P]

If i read the rules right, You can't run a holley on a car that originally had a Q-jet on it from the factory, In NSS, Right??

Rick, it varies from car to car. What kind of car are you interested in running? (GM Obviously)

Andy, My 67 GTO. And according to that, I can't run a Holley. Thanks!!

[WarrenRacing71]

slaps some Carters on that bad boy!

[Rick P]

LOL, I'll probably just run NMC. Thats what i pretty much planned on doing anyway.

[Jim Netherland]

You know the way those rules read, it says nothing of a Q-Jet. I know people have run Q-Jets on Pontaics before. You can run a Holley if you can run 9.75 (FX) or faster. Holleys were never available on BOP cars except the Stage 2 Buick dealer package had a 850 Holley but they don't want to allow that.

Ha Ha. Your right Jim. Guess i wasn't paying attention. It doesn't say rochester or Q-jet. But that was the only carb offered on the gto's starting in 67. Rochester i mean. I've got an original 2bbl gto. Not fast though.

[NMCAMike]

The Q-jet was offered in 1967 for the Pontiac's so it will be allowed and added to the list for 2008.

[Mike Davis]

Rick I talked to Mike about this in Atlanta and in Memphis. The q-jet was not available in 66's but were for your 67 and there are a few that would like to see some rule changes for the BOP's. A holley was available on a Ram Air V so I am trying to see if we can get a 4150 style legal. Most Pontiac, Olds And Buick older style intakes don't work well and won't fit alot of aftermarket heads that are available.

[Rick P]

That would be nice!! Thanks for letting me know!!
