Holley carb stand

[65-440]

The last few carbs I've built I kept saying I need to buy a work stand.. never did.... this morning I had nothing going on, grabbed a few pieces of scrap sapele wood and made one! I think I'll make 2 more!

Four 5/16 x 2 std bolts and 8 nuts. Stand complete to fit any carb base.

That would've been a lot faster !

I have a dedicated box in one of the cabinets for such things. The do not touch box when needing nuts and bolts to assemble something. Other wise would be buying new one for these special occasions all the time.

I have been rebuilding carbs professionally and on the side at home for almost 50 years now. I clamp a center punch in the bench vise and set one of the carb mounting holes over the punch and do my work. I've never broken a throttle body, although I pick the beefiest corner on Holleys to avoid such a problem. Back before FI was on every vehicle I averaged 1 carb per week.
