I came across a NOS kit made for the L134 to fit a Holley 2100 carb. Professionally done. May even be from Holley. The directions do not specify if it fits under the hood of a 2A.
Anyone heard of this kit before? I want to try giving her a little more juice when I rebuild. I'm already kicking myself for not jumping on a Burns manifold. Doubt I will see another one of those. Wondering if this kit will fit and is worth the trouble. Micah

Well, the fact that no one responded to this post made me
that more interested in it. I figured it must be rare. So, I went for it and I’m
glad I did. I think its pretty damn cool. I unpacked it from its original box. It was wrapped in
newspaper dated January 4, 1962. It is NOS, complete, in perfect shape and very
interesting. I do not plan to install it at this time. Down the road,
when I restore this old girl, I plan to upgrade the engine with some of the
ideas Vick Hickey espoused. Since I stupidly passed up on the Burns manifold,
the Holley might make up for the dual single barrels. Now, if I could find a Burns
manifold and run dual Holleys, …….. Until then, this will go up in the attic. Micah DAMN UP SIDE DOWN PICTURES!

I didn't realize that was the carburetor you were referring to. I expected something more modern. I worked with those carbs a lot during my Flathead Ford/Merc days, they are a very good, reliable, easy-to-work-on, and adaptable carb. I have a very similar adaptor and a box-full of "Ford" carbs and one Holley still hanging around. I thought to one day try the Holley on Uncle Linden's jeep. (I also have an Edelbrock 3X2 manifold for a small-block Chevy with three "Ford" carbs on it.)
Are you aware that each bore of the Holley is .050" larger in diameter than the bore of the WO? This will be like putting 2 WO carbs on, and then some! Sounds like fun! If you get around to putting it on before I do, let us know how it works out. FYI - Speedway Motors still has a set of adjustable main jets available for that carb. BW

Interesting you mention the slightly larger bore on the Holley. The other day I was looking at the WO carb I have and I got to wondering how the Weber DGV 32/36 compared, The primary is about 2mm larger while the Secondary is 6mm larger. SO yea more then a pair of WO's The difference is the Weber is a progressive and I believe the Holley is not. I will enjoy hearing any results Micah gets from running it.

Bruce, Good to know this is not some obscure carb. Glad to see that
the Holley flows a bit more than the WO. I figured it had a bit of headspace
since they list it as fitting the six cylinder also. Thanks for the info on the
jets. Elevation in Reno is around 4,500’ and get into the range where jetting
does help. Mark, I ran a progressive Weber 32/36 in my ’71 Maverick with a
250 straight six. Later I switched to the synchronous 32/36. Both great carbs
and easy to re-jet. The only thing I hated was the little clip that holds the
linkage to the choke butterfly. I was always worried that I would lose it or
drop it into the intake. I’m hoping to see how much of Vic Hickey’s tricks I can
employ. Probably need to do a little work on the stock intake. Now, if I can just find someone who builds headers …… Micah Edited by Steelyard Blues - 22 Jan. 2019 at 5:17am |

I ran a Holley/Weber 5200 a slightly smaller version of the DGV (this one came froma Holley Bug pack performance package that had a tubular manifold). On the wifes 67 Mustang with a 200 L6 (same engine different bore stroke then your Maverick engine) And it was part of taking the car from 19.5mpg to 26mpg commuting and as hig as 31mpg a few times on long flat freeway runs like North of Bakersfield.

Charles,
No plan to install it until I do a rebuild and can take full advantage. She runs nice now and don't want to mess with it at this point. Mark, Weber was great in the Maverick except that I ran it too lean and roasted the valve guides. Now, I like to tune with an O2 sensor. Maverick now has an EFI 5.0 stroked to a 347. Mileage is around 18 but fun as hell to drive. http://mmb.maverick.to/garage/my-1971-maverick.170/ Anyone wants to try the Holly, There is still one left on eBay the last time I looked. Micah

I read the article on Vic Hickey, very interesting, thanks for the link, Micah.
Note that it said that the twin-carb setup didn't work out "on the hills". I'm not surprised. The carbs used on his dual manifold were designed to feed a 223 cubic inch inline six, so he had enough carburetor on there to theoretically feed a 446 cubic inch engine! The Holley two-barrel that we are talking of using was designed for a 239 cubic inch flathead V-8. One of them sounds much more reasonable. I wish I still had one of the many "glass-bowl" Holley single-barrel carbs from a 223 that I threw away, I'd like to try one of them on my 134, either the L-head in my 2A or the F-head in my 3B. Maybe that's the carb that is commonly recommended for use on an F-head in a MB/2A/3A, for hood clearance. The article said that Vic replaced the dual carbs with a YF and it worked well. The YF is used on the F-134, and has a throttle bore diameter .310" bigger than the WO for a bore area increase of 48%. A friend was running a YF on his L-134 and I thought it was working OK for him, but he recently took it off and put a WO on it and he is much happier. Fun, interesting stuff! BW

Big fan of progressives two barrels on smaller engines. That way you only have the air fuel needed for the engines demand and the smaller the venturing the better the itemization of the fuel and better mileage.
