INTRODUCTION:
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a Holley® carburetor! We feel that you have purchased the finest performance carburetor
manufactured today. Should you need information or parts assistance, please contact our Technical Service Department at 1-270-781-
9741 or 1-866-GOHOLLEY, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. Please have the part number of the product you purchased
on hand when you call.
To preserve warranty, these instructions must be read and followed thoroughly before and during installation.
NOTE: The 0-80508S carburetor is a 50-state emission legal replacement carburetor for 1965-69 V-8 applications. In California,
those vehicles must have been originally equipped with a four-barrel carburetor.
WARNING: If you are using this carburetor with a GM overdrive transmission TH700R4 or a TH200R4, you must use a
transmission kickdown cable bracket (Holley® P/N 20-95) and stud (Holley® P/N 20-40). Otherwise, SEVERE
transmission damage WILL result. This carburetor is not designed to work with ANY other automatic overdrive
transmission.
These carburetors have been designed and calibrated as a universal replacement carburetor for passenger cars and light truck
applications equipped with V-6 and V-8 engines. It is designed for use on “square” flange intake manifolds. Carburetor adapters are
not recommended to adapt to “spread” bore intake manifolds, since adapters may have an adverse affect on cylinder-to-cylinder
distribution and ultimately, total engine performance. However, some manifolds may be universal. Please check with Holley’s
Technical Service Department if you have any questions.
REMOVAL:
1. Remove the air cleaner, exercising care to carefully detach any vacuum lines from the air cleaner and marking them so they can be
reassembled to the air cleaner in the same manner.
2. Remove the existing carburetor by the following procedure:
A. Carefully disconnect the fuel line.
WARNING: Carefully protect the open end of the fuel lines, so that no foreign particles can enter. Wrap the end of the fuel
line with a clean lint-free cloth.
B. Disconnect and mark all vacuum lines and wiring (if any) to the carburetor.
C. Disconnect the PCV hose.
D. Disconnect the choke rod or heat tubes (if equipped).
E. Disconnect and remove the throttle linkage and automatic kickdown linkage. Save all retaining clips.
F. Unbolt and remove the carburetor from the manifold.
3. If the intake manifold is being changed at this time, install the new manifold according to the manifold’s manufacturer’s directions.
Since we are not familiar with all manifold instructions, Holley® cannot accept responsibility for their validity.

INSTALLATION NOTES:
CHRYSLER APPLICATIONS
WARNING: This carburetor is not designed for use with any Chrysler automatic overdrive transmission. SEVERE
transmission damage may result from improper application use.
1. Unless you are replacing an existing Holley® carburetor (which already has a lever extension arm), you may need to purchase and
install a throttle lever extension (Holley® P/N 20-7) on the carburetor. Remove the throttle stud and nut from the original
carburetor. You can purchase a new stud from your Holley® dealer (Holley® P/N 20-67). Install the stud in the throttle extension
lever (Figure 1).
Figure 1—Chrysler applications
FORD APPLICATIONS
WARNING: This carburetor is not designed for use with any Ford automatic overdrive transmission. SEVERE transmission
damage may result from improper application use.
NOTE: Unless replacing an existing Holley® Carburetor, you will need to purchase Holley® P/N 20-91, spring and perch kit,
for Ford automatic transmissions.
1. Install the new throttle ball, lockwasher, and retaining nut to the carburetor throttle lever in the same position as the existing
carburetor.
2. Insert the transmission kickdown screw with the black retaining clip on the transmission kickdown lever (Figure 2).
Figure 2—Ford applications
3. Remove the lock out screw from the kickdown lever (Figure 3).

4. Install the transmission kickdown spring between the transmission kickdown lever and spring perch (Figure 2).
Figure 3—Ford applications
GM APPLICATIONS
WARNING: If you are using this carburetor with a GM overdrive transmission TH700R4 or a TH200R4, you must use a
transmission kickdown cable bracket (Holley® P/N 20-95) and stud (Holley® P/N 20-40). Otherwise, SEVERE
transmission damage WILL result. This carburetor is not designed to work with ANY other automatic overdrive
transmission.
1. Remove the throttle cable ball and automatic transmission kickdown stud (if any) from the original carburetor, and mount these in
similar locations on the Holley® throttle lever. If the original throttle cable is too large, a new throttle ball or stud is needed (Holley®
P/N 20-2 or 20-38).
INSTALLATION:
1. Install the carburetor-mounting studs (not provided) in the proper location on the intake manifold carburetor flange.
2. Place the new carburetor flange gasket, provided with the carburetor, in the proper position on the intake manifold.
3. Place the carburetor on top of the flange gasket on the manifold. Install the hold down nuts and snug down progressively in a
“crisscross” pattern (60-80 in./lbs.), as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4—Carburetor hold-down nut torque sequence
WARNING: Overtightening may result in a warped or cracked carburetor throttle body.
4. Before connecting the linkage, operate the throttle lever to assure the correct travel (no sticking or binding), by opening to wide-
open throttle and back to closed throttle several times. Correct any sticking or binding conditions before proceeding.
WARNING: Any sticking, binding, or other interference in the throttle linkage could result in uncontrolled engine speed. This
could result in engine damage or personal injury.

5. Reconnect the throttle and transmission kickdown linkage and throttle return spring (Holley® P/N 20-89). Operate the carburetor
throttle lever by hand to assure the correct travel (no sticking or binding) by opening to wide open throttle and back to closed
throttle several times. Correct any sticking or binding conditions before proceeding.
NOTE: With the engine turned off, have an assistant slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor, while you watch the throttle for
any sticking or binding. Correct any sticking or binding conditions before proceeding. Also ensure that you are reaching full
throttle. Many performance problems are traced to partial throttle openings from improperly adjusted linkage. Secondaries will
not open mechanically during this procedure.
Figure 5 (0-80508S shown)
6. Reconnect the appropriate vacuum hoses to the carburetor, noting the correct fitting from Figure 5 and 6. Replace any cracked or
dry rotted hoses at this time to prevent any vacuum leaks.
A. The full manifold vacuum source in the front of the throttle body provides vacuum for proper operation of the air cleaner, the
pump diverter valve (if equipped), AC/Cruise, and/or the temperature sensing valve. If vacuum for more than one component
is needed, use small plastic vacuum “T”s (available at most automotive stores).
B. The timed spark fitting in the choke side of the primary metering block provides vacuum for the operation of the distributor
vacuum advance. Connect the hose to the distributor, spark delay valve, and/or temperature sensing valve as originally
connected. Again use “T”s as necessary. If any questions arise about the hose connections, consult the proper service
manual.
C. Plug any vacuum source not used.
7. Connect the PCV hose to the PCV fitting in the carburetor.
8. Connect the power brake hose to the fitting as shown in Figure 6.
9. In some cases, the existing fuel line will have to be cut and connected to a “dual feed” fuel line with a length of rubber fuel hose
and a clamp.

Figure 6
WARNING: During the fuel line installation, DO NOT allow any foreign particles to enter the fuel lines, which could then
cause flooding and may result in a fire.
WARNING: Keep the fuel line away from the EGR valve (if equipped) on the intake manifold.
If installation requires cutting the metal fuel line, cut the fuel line with a good tube cutter. This will minimize the chance of producing
metal chip particles. If a hacksaw must be used then metal chips must be removed.
WARNING: In all cases where the fuel line has been cut, it is essential that it be clean to ensure that no metal particles enter
the fuel bowl after the new carburetor installation. Remove the fuel line at the pump and blow the line clean with
compressed air. DO NOT use the procedure where the coil wire is disconnected, the engine cranked for a few
revolutions, and the fuel collected in a container. This procedure is unsafe because sparking can occur either at
the coil or at the distributor end of the coil wire and ignite any fuel spilled in the engine compartment.
CAUTION: The use of a quality in line fuel filter, such as Holley® P/N 162-523 is mandatory as a safeguard against possible flooding,
which could result from unfiltered particles becoming lodged between the fuel inlet needle and its seat. This can result in
fire if a spark is present or backfire occurs in the engine compartment. Air cleaner filter elements should be blown clean
with compressed air at 6,000 miles and replaced at 12,000 miles to assure maximum protection. Now would be the
perfect time to upgrade to a Holley® Powershot air filter (Holley® P/N 120-146).
Electric Choke Models:
A. Connect the electric choke lead (supplied) to the positive terminal of the choke cap. The other end must be connected to a
good ignition activated 12-volt source. Hookup of this wire is not optional.
WARNING: Connecting the choke cap to the ignition or ignition coil could result in unacceptable choke operation, poor
fuel economy, and possible engine misfiring, since the voltage delivered to the spark plugs will be severely
reduced by the drain imposed by the choke cap. Suitable ignition activated 12-volt sources are most
electrical relays, as well as the leads to accessories, such as windshield wipers. DO NOT connect this wire
to the original equipment (O.E.) electric choke source. This may not be a 12V source.
B. Check the voltage source with a volt-ohm meter to assure proper voltage and choke operation.
Manual Choke Models:
A. Connect the choke control cable (Holley® P/N 45-228) to the choke actuation lever, and lock in place with the choke cable lock
screw (Figure 7).
B. Mount the outer sleeve to the cable clamp.
C. Actuate the choke cable through its full range of motion to ensure full choke operation. Adjust, as necessary.
10. Start the engine and check the fuel lines and inlet fitting for possible leaks.
NOTE: The recommended fuel pressure is 5-7 psi.
11. Recheck to assure all existing vacuum hoses are attached properly. Plug any fittings not used.

12. With the engine at operating temperature, set the idle speed to the manufacturer’s specifications (see page 10 for idle adjustment).
13. Shut off the engine and readjust the throttle operated transmission linkage, if necessary. On installations that have a kickdown-
actuating switch on the passenger’s side of the firewall, it might be necessary to readjust it according to the manufacturer’s service
manual.
Figure 7 Manual choke parts (0-3310S shown)
FORD APPLICATIONS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS: With the engine off, push the transmission kickdown rod rearward
until it stops and hold it in position. Push the throttle lever rearward to its wide-open throttle position and adjust the transmission
kickdown screw to come in contact with the transmission kickdown lever tang.
WARNING: With the engine off, recheck the assembled linkage for sticking and/or proper return to the idle position.
14. Place the air cleaner gasket (supplied) on the sealing flange, and install the air cleaner.
15. With some air cleaner configurations, it may be necessary to use an air cleaner spacer to provide adequate clearance between the
carburetor and the air cleaner. Holley® offers such a spacer (Holley® P/N 17-13). Depending on the overall height, obtain the
proper length 1/4 x 20 stud and install in the carburetor airhorn. Close the hood slowly to ensure adequate clearance between the
air cleaner stud and the hood.
WARNING: Inadequate clearance between the air cleaner and the throttle lever could result in throttle sticking and
uncontrolled engine speed. Check the clearance between the throttle lever and air cleaner for proper operation.
Check the clearance between the air cleaner and the hood before closing the hood completely.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Fuel system components, including fuel lines and the carburetor, should be inspected
periodically to assure no fuel leakage and to ensure the soundness of the hoses. Today’s clean emissions engines provide
higher temperatures in the engine compartment. These high temperatures promote faster aging of non-metallic materials.
Hoses that exhibit surface cracks, when bent to 180°, should be replaced. The presence of liquid fuel demands tightening of fittings,
hose replacement, and retorquing of the fuel system component flange nuts. Periodically check the torque on the fuel bowl screws to
25-30 in./lbs. to assure proper fuel metering.
GENERAL: Some very important factors to optimize efficiency and performance include: Correct engine timing, correct spark plug
gap and heat range, ignition components in good working order, and correct operation of exhaust heat valve.
WARNING: Automatic transmission vehicles only: Install the transmission kickdown adjustment screw and black retaining
clip, as correctly indicated. Failure to attend to this detail may result in a sticking wide-open throttle or
dangerous uncontrolled engine speed.

CHOKE ADJUSTMENT:
IMPORTANT: Your Holley® carburetor has been factory wet-flowed and calibrated. The “out of the box” settings should be
very close for all adjustments. The following tuning section is included ONLY to aid you in fine tuning
adjustments.
Electric Choke
1. You can control the choke operation by rotating the choke cap. If the choke comes off too soon, rotate the cap counterclockwise
one notch at a time, until the choke operation is satisfactory. Reverse the procedure by loosening the screws, if the choke comes
off too late. The choke setting from the factory is on “index” or at center position. After making the final adjustments, start the
engine and make sure the choke plate opens completely.
A. A choke that comes off too soon could exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: stalling, surging, backfiring, stumbles,
or poor vehicle driveability when the vehicle is cold.
B. A choke that comes off too late could exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: black smoke from the tail pipe, poor
driveability when cold, poor gas mileage, misses, or rough idle.
Manual and Electric Chokes
2. If the fast idle RPM is too low or too high for your preferences, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE! Advance the throttle to wide-open,
exposing the fast idle set screw below the choke housing (See Figure 8).
3. Using a 1/4” open end wrench, turn the screw clockwise to increase the RPM or counterclockwise to decrease the RPM. The
factory setting should give you a 1500-1600 RPM fast idle speed.
NOTE: All vacuum ports must be plugged at this time.
Figure 8

IDLE MIXTURE NEEDLES:
Idle mixture needles control the air/fuel mixture at idle. These have been preset at the factory and SHOULD NOT need any
adjustments. However, if you feel that adjustment is necessary, you can use the following procedure to do so. When tuning the idle
mixture, you’re actually tuning for the best manifold vacuum. Idle mixture needles are found on the primary metering blocks. If you
change one idle mixture needle, you must change the other idle mixture needle by the same amount. Here are the proper steps for
setting the idle mixture needles.
1. Attach the vacuum gauge to a manifold vacuum port on the throttle body (Figure 7).
2. Adjust each idle mixture screw (Figures 9 & 10) 1/8 turn at a time, alternating between each screw. Turn them equally, until you
achieve the highest possible vacuum reading without adjusting the curb idle speed screw. Turn screws in to lean the mixture.
Turn them out to richen the mixture.
Figure 9 Figure 10
Figure 11
3. Now that the idle mixture is set, it may be necessary to go back and reset the idle speed using the curb idle speed screw, as shown
in Figure 11.
4. If a vacuum gauge is not available, use a tachometer to obtain the highest RPM.
ROUGH IDLE AND VACUUM LEAKS: If a rough idle persists after the engine has been started and the mixture screws adjusted,
check for manifold vacuum leaks. These could result from unplugged vacuum fittings or a carburetor flange gasket that was torn during
installation. Recheck for proper attachment of all vacuum lines and check the lines for cracks.
If the manifold was changed, a manifold vacuum leak could occur at the cylinder head/manifold surface due to damaged gaskets or
improper torquing. Frequently, manifold vacuum leaks occur from the valley side of the manifold. These are very difficult to detect,
unless a discernible whistle can be heard.
NOTE: In most cases, when rough idle occurs after a carburetor/manifold change, they result from manifold vacuum leaks similar to
those described above. Assuring a proper manifold installation rather than assuming the carburetor is not functioning properly
will ultimately save time.
