Holley Brawler Carburetor Installation How-To and Basic Tuning

[@irvinlewis5022]

I think the windshield install is the most anticipated video for your viewers. Might even set a record for KZbin views.

Can you run the pvc and brake booster to the one plug in the back of this carburetor with a t fitting?😢

[@cuzz63]

I just installed a 650 brawler..vac secondary. Very slight adjustments right out of the box...the floats were the farthest off, which seemed weird. Having a Vac gauge is nice for the fine tune.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

This particular one is the only brawler I haven't had to mess with floats on, so there must be something to that.

[@bigboyjay0928]

Do you have link for intake manifold

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Last produced sometime in the 80s probably

[@chadfield376]

When you added that better carb, you did not have to readjust your timing first before adjusting your mixture screws?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Timing is timing. Spark is delivered at X amount of degrees before TDC regardless of fuel. It was right before, no reason it would change because of a carb

[@natew8882]

After you said "goodbye Brand X carb," I was hoping you would say "oh, that was close, I'm so glad I didn't hit the car." On a side note, I think you should get some "warning....warning" stickers to put on the car.

Is that 650 good for a 350 what about if you have a 454 stop with the 750 brawler be better

Just depends on the cam, compression, flow, etc. Displacement is the least of your concerns. I use a 650 on my 454 no issues

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Those are vent tubes, floats are out of adjustment or needle and seat is bad.

[@bradjames7206]

Hey i got a 76 chevy 4x4 with the rochester that is not rebuildable. What carb can i use for it? I do some offroading so want a carb that will work good. Thanks. Love the progress.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Personally I'd go vaccum secondary in any heavy vehicle, and choose a center hung float to prevent starvation with severe changes in angles, like off roading. I am part of the Holley family but.... The quadrajet makes a fantastic off road carb. I'd get it rebuilt or buy one through summit or something

[@imatter4619]

Bought a 770 brouler and it's still sputtering, besides adjusting it,.what else can it possibly be. 1960 impala 400 small block V8.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Too much carb, would have came with bigger jets installed. You're going to need to go down on jet size and squirter most likely. Read your plugs and diagnose accordingly

[@smokineaglesrodshop]

I'm probably gonna be tossing a 850 brawler on the buick 455 stage1 upgrade on carmen electra this winter! Can't wait to destroy more tires!

[@Texasmule]

Would a 750cfm work on a 9.5 350sbc?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

It'll use as much air as it wants, but the 750 is going to come richer out of the box. 650 is fine

[@randoboomer2345]

is 650 A little small for drag racing?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

650 is pretty good for a stock-ish 400 with small valves and 8.5:1. It's not a race car. Just a strong cruiser

You should fit a thick black car cover over the car, with cutouts for the windows (tint them dark). Drive around with that, like you're hiding some kind of secret prototype. Imagine their shock at the reveal.

Hey brother, what air filter did you run? I’m shopping them for the same carb. Did you have any issues with the filter interfering with the electric choke or linkage?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

It's got a factory air filter housing on it with a little 1"spacer to clear the throttle

[@Hoosiers12345]

Do you have a 400 in that car? What are the specs? I have a 70 gto, Pontiac 400 with 9.3 CR, mild 068 RAIII cam. Highway gearing. Not getting what I’d like out of my QJet. Would you recommend a 680 vac secondary or a 650 DP? Thanks!

[@adammanmiller4546]

Just bought a 71 firebird with this carb on it and it cranks a lot to get going and you gotta hold throttle for a minute so it will idle or it will shut off. It will load up after cranking too long and bow a flame out carb. Any suggestions?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Sounds like timing to me. Put a light on it and see what you got. If not that, your fast idle probably just needs set a little higher. It's no different than any other Holley carb as far as that operation goes.

[@adammanmiller4546]

@@PoleBarnGarage I have not followed your video yet but I will when I get to the car just was wondering if that’s could be the problem. The timing is set right.

Hey so I have a question for everyone in the comments, I have a 383 stroker with a 770 holly brawler carb. Now I don't know anything about how to adjust the timing on the block or adjusting the carb. I'm already 28k in the hole going from mechanic to mechanic on this and still having issues with the engine running at an idle. Could this be that maybe the timing is incorrect or maybe it's just not getting enough gas and would adjusting the 770 be the same as your 650 carb? I'm just getting tired of spending more and more money and and hoping I can do this myself. Hopefully yall can help me

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Buddy if you spent 28k on a small block Chevy you've got some issues on your hands. Adjusting timing is the same procedure as a stock engine, but there's so many factors you're going to have a hard time figuring it out via internet

[@chart3180]

@@PoleBarnGarage well that also includes buying all new parts for the car and the car itself. So far have had 3 different mechanics work on it. Sorry if I made it seem like it was only for the engine lol

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Pretty much any carb is going to run out of the box halfway decent, especially on a generic small block. You didn't mention what yourb issues are, what your ignition system is, compression, or what cam. All 3 will radically change what you could be looking at. Check ignition timing initial, and total, (12 btdc for starters, 30ish total if using a modern head) vacuum leaks, valve lash, dynamic compression test, fuel pressure, incorrect pushrod length, cam timing, in that order. All basic tests you can do without any special tools aside from feeler gauges, dial back timing light, and compression tester A simple Google search will tell you exactly how to do any of these. Lastly, lose the useless mechanics who can't figure out the most common v8 ever produced.
