Full Throttle Glory
Alright, let’s take look back at the Holley LS Fest West 2024 Autocross event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was a wild ride, with LS-powered machines tearing up the asphalt, from vintage muscle to modern speed demons, all vying for glory in a whirlwind of horsepower and adrenaline.

From Four to More: A Modern Manual for Your Vintage Mustang
Decades ago, Ford made the jump from four-speed manual transmissions to five-speeds. Newer Cobras even feature six-speeds, so it’s natural that those who own earlier Mustangs with four-speed manuals now feel a little gear envy. Many people love the feel of having a manual transmission, but if you’re still using a four-speed, you’re missing out on a lot of performance and economy potential. Adding a transmission with additional gears places your gears closer together for better acceleration and gives you more gears to choose from for easier cruising. But which transmission is right for your Mustang? You need one that’s strong, smooth and capable of bolting to your engine, and it’s not easy to find all three attributes in the same gearbox.

BACK IN BLACK: Jamie Musselman’s ’33 Ford Roadster
Forty-four years have passed since Musselman teamed with Boyd Coddington in creating one of the most amazing rods of its day, an excetpional car that took its place in history as the Oakland Roadster Show’s “America’s Most Beautiful Roadster” in 1982. This was also due, in part, to the efforts of many top fabricators including Lil’ John Buttera, Dan Fink, Steve Davis, Thom Taylor who designed the car.

Okay, okay! After listening to oh so many of you, we are providing information you have been requesting, and perhaps searching for, for some time. That information is carburetor data, information that we used to take for granted but that has become more and more difficult to find of late. It seems that much of this data for numerous models and years has somehow slipped through the cracks. This could be mostly due to the age of the information, plus the fact that many of those applications are more rare today. We suppose there are numerous other reasons as to why this information has virtually dried up, so we present a basic listing here for the correct carburetor number for the respective engine application.
Camaro and Chevelle data is generally more readily available than, say, that of the late-’50s and early-’60s, so this is especially relevant for big-car owners. Luckily for those with such interests, over the years we have managed to assemble this difficult-to-obtain information by rubbing elbows with those who had such information. Figuring that many of you would be searching for such information over time, we compiled the data for a later date. It seems there wasn’t much need for it at the time, as this information was no longer relevant because it was “past the 10-year rule,” or pertained to years no longer allowed in drag race competition.
We hope you will bookmark this listing, and perhaps print it out and share it to keep it as a handy reference guide (in your glove compartment) to use at the swap meets you attend to help confirm the correctness of a carburetor or fuel injection on any ’58 -’61 Chevrolet or Corvette.
