Sweet as! lots of mates had them back in the day - great cars but rear vision was pretty poor for parking!

I'm a holley man myself, but you can get the thermoquads going good once you sort them out, they have a bad habit of stumbling off the mark. it's funny all the Sydney guys used to run holleys and melbourne guys seemed to be keen on carters but you never hear about them anymore! but a square bore holley is always better than a spreadbore on a Ford too for some reason.

Ash wrote: I guess between now and when you get your license you can be saving for petrol  Has it still got the original thermoquad carb? I had one on my XB 351 hardtop. I thought it was a great carb. It actually wasn't that bad on juice if you just drove using the primaries. It didn't take long to get the feel of when the throttle started opening the secondaries. I did try a 650 Holley on then took it off a few days after and went back to the thermoquad. I'm not exactly what carby is on it, it's a motorcraft carby i can tell you that much lol

OK it's probably a later XB, I'd stick with a holley 2bbl either a 350 cfm or for a bit more up top a 500cfm, both are simple and easy to play with / fix, although new is always better with holley's, but if you can get hold of a 4 bbl manifold 600 holleys are sometimes cheaper!

Stuart just got a brand new 600 Holley from Hume performance yesterday for $355. Why would you rebuild them when you can get them new for that?
