sorry not that sharp on carbs


thanks for advice
8795 is not the list #. It should start with an L.

What is cid , compression, rest if cam soecs, and top rpm you are going to run with this engine ?

Are these carbs new ? If not , did they tun fine before fir you and then started acting crappy ?

T|
Under load at a predetermined vacuum the power valve opens allowing more fuel to flow equating to 6-8 jet sizes. More load - less vacuum, 6.5 power valve will open at 6.5 psi manifold vaccum and so on.

that number comes back as a lot of older dominator's that did not have screw in air bleeds but a pic of the top of your carb would help.

with Holley, the casting numbers are raised (example is the pic supplied of the OP's 12R-8795B).. the model # should be stamped in somewhere on the body

What is the stamped # that is 180 degrees opposite your 12R # on top of the carb? ... that may be your model (list) #

Are there little brass tubes sticking out in side of the throttle bores ? Also the three little holes on top by the vent tubes is one of them blocked off ?
