| whack a 32/36 weber on it, you will really notice the difference with a good exhaust system. |

| A Holley 850 double pumper will make decent horsepower. On a stock engine however, the nikki isn't too bad. |

| Slap on a 190 holley (5200 series). I got one for 80 bucks and used a weber adaptor plate ($15). An adaptor for the accelerator cable will need to be made and the nikki linkage system will have to modified to to fit the holley but otherwise its easy! It goes way better than the nikki and prbably a weber (I never had one). Even with the stock exhaust were crankin it! Only on a 1600 too! |
