I'll never buy another product from Holley ever again!

[NYH1]

I'm done with Holley products (which also includes NOS, Weiand, Earl's, Hooker and Flowtech). I've been trying to get though to their tech suppport line since last Thursday (8-6) for product information. I called twice a day Thurs (8-6), Fri (8-7) and yesterday (Monday 8-10) . I was on hold hold 20 to 30 minutes each time, before I hung up.

I called Holley's corporate office yesterday (Monday 8-10). A lady answered the phone, I told her I needed product information, she told me she was going to transfer me to their tech department. I told her I've been on hold waiting for them twice a day for 20 to 30 minutes each time since last Thursday.

I asked if there was someone else I could talk to, I just had a quick question. She got rude and said if I need tech advise I'd have to be transferred and wait like evryone else. I said I've done that for three days already. I told her that when I call Edelbrock they usually answer their phone within a few minutes and that maybe I should go with Edelbrock's products instead. She said "that sounds good" and hung up on me.

Holley can go $h!t in their hat. I won't buy anything from a company that doesn't support their customers! I was going to buy a new carb and new fuel pump. Edelbrock or someone else with get my money now.

You'd think that in today's economy where people don't have as much expendable income to spend on things they really "don't need" as they did in years past, that customer service would be a priority. For most companies today, every customer counts. I guess Holley doesn't feel that way.

You're preachin to the quire brother. Although my beef with holly are with their craptastic leaky temperamental and generally unreliable carburetors.

This 2009 for petes sake, Fuel inject that sucker or at the very least build a killer q-jet for the thing

Edelbrock performer is a much better carb than holley anyway, the gasket is above the fuel level so it doesn't leak like the holley as krochus said.

Fuel injection...NO WAY!   I bought an older car to have an older car.   If I wanted fuel injection I would have bought a car with it already on it.   A guy I work with uses an Edelbrock fuel injection system on his 66 Nova and loves it.   It's just not my thing.   I like the carburetor set up. 

Now when I'm done with this car, I'm going to find a nice little 64 1/2 through 68 Mustang Coupe for my wife.   That car will have some sort of fuel injection on it.   More then likely a 5.0L/AOD transplant....maybe even with a Paxton or Vortech huffer on it. 

I don't know anything about Q-Jet carbs.   I've used the Edelbrock's and a Carter in the past, all though I didn't do much to them.

Because you don't have to, thats why they are better. There is enough to do to tune a new motor without having to fiddle with a fussy carb.

No doubt. holley is the only carburetor that requires a good beating from the plastic end of a screwdriver to tune properly. At one time or another we've all performed these "carwash rebuilds" on our holleys

fuel injection is not a new technology. Chev used them as far back as 1957 on the impalas and there system has powered some of the stoutest small block chevs in the day. The ramjet injection system is modern but still has that sort of nostalgic look to it and what about the old hillborn injectors. Not much more trick looking then that.  Nothing wrong with a holley carb if performance is all your looking for. There good at dumping a ton of gas in a motor fast. they arent as effeicient as the newer carbs like the performer but then when a guy has to rebuild one its only about a half hour project. Bottom line is when im going down the road you cant see my motor anyway and ill take performace over looks anyday and in that aspect the injection systems win hands down. Want a trick looking injections sytem that works well too and is reasonable. Go to your junk yard and find a tuned port camero or firebird. I wont discuss fords as there not allowed in my driveway!!

Ok...I guess you got me there!

I'm not using fuel injection.   I don't want to.

You need to look up a guy by the name of John Osborne. He tricks out the Q-jets and does a lot of them for the Buick guys.
