When returning for a recharge how much refrigerant was evacuated from the system? Could you be overcharged. My system only requires 1.1 pounds, if overcharged the high pressure switch shuts the system down.

Thanks guys for you response. I spoke with Edelbrock today and they confirmed what Paul said, I may have problems with hard acceleration as Paul stated but not in many cases. This problem has not occurred for me probably because of my driving style.

I have for 16 years run my 4150 double pumper carb backwards on a Edelbrock RPM Airgap Performer intake manifold. It’s simply easier to run the throttle cable instead of fabricating a bell crank. I have never been satisfied with the idle quality and wonder if this might be the problem. Opinions...

I recently converted my 016 Audi transaxle to a 01E in my Roaring Forties GT40. Offering my complete 016 adaptor kit $500 buyer pays freight. Located in North Carolina USA.

I had the same experience with Lucas switches.

I’m changing the gearbox in my RF #103 from Audi 016 to a 01E and need assistance. The the 016 cv joints are 930 type with OD 108mm and I would like to continue using this setup. The 016 output shafts will interchange to the 01E which would allow this, however I hope someone has performed this...

I don’t have either item for sale. Regards, Jim

Brian, the one I can’t locate is front pinion bearing FAG 549677, the porsche 944 bearing I thought would fit but OD is 3mm to large. Regards, Jim

Thanks Charlie, I phoned German Transaxle who rebuilt it 15 years ago and spoke with Scott at Advanced Automotion the front pinion bearing hasn’t been available for a few years. I would convert to a 01E box but my 015 has a 322 R&P and limited slip installed by German Transaxle. I thought I...

Rebuilding my 016 Transaxle and need new pinion bearings, located in North Carolina, USA.

Simon, I used the Pollack valve when installing my Sniper, worked very well. I threw out the Sniper after 2 replacements from Holley and 9 months of torture, returned to my 4150 carb but kept the Pollak valve. My engine builder has installed many Holley Terminater X systems with great success...

No preload, you’re just compensating for a lean idle mixture! Try the four corner as I recommend, you can always adjust back to your original settings. The 4 corners affect the mixture through the entire range of throttle. The carb I own is the same technical build as your QF built by AED, I...

I run a Holley 650 (4150) “0” accelerator pump lash. First try opening your 4 corner idle mixture 1/8 turn at a time, you may have idle mixture too lean. If that improves your throttle response but not quite what you need go to 31 pump nozzle. Primary main jet size?

I served time in Sniper Hell! Holley repaired my 1st (HaHa) and later sent me a new replacement. I reinstalled my 4brl after many hours speaking with tech (very nice tech service).
