Hi,
My existing carburetor is so awful, I decided I'd take a first step into the engine upgrade and have some questions to start.
Offy 5416
Holley carb 0-8007 model 4160C 390CFM
- Who's done this conversion with this intake and carb?
- Did you have to bend the throttle tab to prevent hitting the intake manifold?
- On the right side of the manifold are two very large drilled out holes. What are these for and how did you seal them up?
- How did you seal up the emission controls tubes? Just a bolt and RTV?
- What's the little grey aluminum block that attaches to the intake and the exhaust lines? Some sort of recirculation? Just seal that up with a bolt and RTV?
Thanks!!

A dry run on the bench, the throttle has a tab bent low, too low, runs into the intake.
Original carb. Note airlines from emissions pump.

Below is a fuzzy picture of the throttle tab on the manifold, preventing the carb from sitting flat.
