Holly carburettor

[stephen crowhurst]

Has any one got any information on the Holly Carburettor as fitted to Windsor or T16 carriers please.

Thanks Stephen

David Gordon (Horsa) has on on his restored T16 so should have a good deal of info from his rebuild. I guess a lot of T16 rebuilds don't fit the original special T16 carb and go for a normal Solex or Ford CG type.

Stephen, do an advanced search for posts by a forum member "things_green"
You will find a thread from Brent that covers some of it.

tobin had some t16 carbs for sale not long ago, he also has probably the largest stock of t16 spares anywhere so might be worth sending him a pm.

What specifically are you trying to find out? The Windsor and T-16 had the same carb with a minor difference being the T-16 version used and automatic electric choke and the Windsor was set up for a manual choke. Some of the references in the T-16 manual use the part code for the Windsor version which made research a little complicated at first.

I usually have both the T16 and Windsor carbs in stock. .... Brian

Mine has a manual choke. On the side there is a piston connected to a cam which has 3 holes in it I presume for adjustment. Mine has always been in the middle hole but is this the best position and what dose the piston do?

thanks Stephen

That's the accelerator pump as fitted the Chandler Groves (Ford 91/99) I have been rebuilding, the other holes are supposed to be used at high altitudes/ hot weather and in cold weather, the hole further in ( closer to the throttle valve shaft ) will displace the piston less for high altitude / very hot weather...and visa versa.

Thanks for that.
Wish I had known when I went to war and peace, might have save a lot of trouble.
Dose the 6 on the bar that joins the piston and the cam mean anything?

There are different markings for different lengths used on different models of carb. It's a C on the Holley 94 21-29 that I've got in the truck, but I'm guessing from the above that the T16 uses a special model.

Assuming it's not too different, and you're planning on doing any work there's a useful rebuild overview here -

and www.vintagespeed.com do some good rebuild kits (although the website's down at the moment).

I can recommend picking up a Holley 26-68 jet driver on ebay - they're a pain to get out without damage (I failed) and the driver makes it a lot easier.

Thanks for that, will have a look at those web sites.

Thanks once again. Stephen

I think there is a little mix up on what carb is on the Windsor and T16 compared to the mk 1 and mark11's

[RichardT10829]

I thought the Windsor used the same as the UC Mk1 /2's which I think was a twin barrelled Holly 94 ?

[Lynn Eades]

Nup!
(I had to put them in because my post was too short)

[RichardT10829]

Aah, well there you go you see...... i am dropping a shorrick supercharger on mine in any event so wont be using the stock carb.

[Lynn Eades]

Planning to rip the centers out of your track links are you?
