Next, remove the remaining three screws and yank the secondary bowl. The gaskets like to stick, so we use a stiff gasket scraper and a small hammer to leverage between the float bowl and the main body. Also pull the fuel transfer tube.The first step is to drain the fuel from the secondary float by pulling one of the lower b Holley Metering Block ConversionAll Holley carbs are not created equal. Holley's more affordable line is referred to as 4160-style carbs that come with a metering plate in the secondary side. These carbs are easily identified by the lack of a thick metering block between the secondary float bowl and the main body of the carburetor. The advantage of a metering block in the secondary side is that these blocks allow easy metering changes with changeable jets. Holley makes a simple 4160 to 4150 conversion kit for most any 4160 model 600-cfm carb and even for the budget 4160 version 3310 and 0-80508S 750-cfm carbs. Because of the large number of carburetors these kits cover, they do not come with main jets. This means you'll have to do some research first to find out what main jet you need. You can do this by looking up your carb number in the Holley catalog and referencing the metering block number. The catalog will also convert that number into a main jet. Our 600-cfm Holley required a pair of 70 main jets.
