I had a link from a guy who put a Holley 600 on his 2.6. I can't find the link, but will post if I do.


Cool, I'd like to see how he did that...that's probably a small 4-barrel, and most likely overkill as a replacement carb for the 2.6L Mikuni, but if someone has done it, I'd like to see it. I think the common wisdom is something like a 300-350 cfm 2-barrel for a stock replacement carb, so a 600 Holley would be MUCH more than needed on a stock motor. Heck, I think a 600 Holley would be too big for a StarQuest turbo setup, but one never knows!


Large carb = diminishing returns at the top end with a loss of drivability.

2 barrels ( 2 inches vac) and 4 barrels ( 1.5" vac) are rated at different pressure drops so you cant directly compare the CFM. The large Holley @ brl's are not staged, both throttles open at once.

Holley did sell a version of the Weber that was decent. It was stock on Pintos and Vega's a couple of years back.

If your out of power at 3000 RPM stock the carb probably has a bad secondary diaphragm.

Turbo on a 2.6 through a carb will be a lot more work to get it right, and it will never be as good as a EFI setup.

The carb adaptor TEP sells is a standard piece that was popular before fule injection was common.
