I purchased a the proform 67101c main body to install on my holley 3310 750 Vac secondary carburetor. This main body gives you down leg booster , adjustable air bleeds, and no choke horn. It is basically a holley HP series main body at fraction of the cost. Best of all I keep the efficiency and driving manners of the vacuum activated secondaries.

When I opened the box I was surprised to see all brand new non stick re usable gaskets. A new metering plate , new fuel bowl screw gaskets and a pair of 72 and 84 fuel jets . The body itself us also aluminum and considerably lighter than the original main body

In my case I have already modified my carb by removing the rear metering plate and installing a meter block so that I can easy change the jetting . The proform comes with gaskets for front and rear meter blocks and fuel bowls which is a total bonus!

I got started on disassembling my carb, pretty straight forward process . With the bowls and blocks removed you can see some slight differences in the two main bodies. Mainly the well where the power valve sits. The holley main body has a considerably larger area, as well the hole in center is actually a threaded mounting hole for one of the 6 screws thar hold the throttle plate to the main body. On the proform this hole is completely blocked off from PV well. I see this having 0 affect on anything performance wise.

From the top the difference is obvious. Most notable is the different boosters and adjustable air bleeds .

The proform main body comes with 31 pump nozzle. I had installed a 35 in my original body. I swapped this over. In the process found another surprise. The proform comes with the hollowed out screw that holds the pump nozzle in place. This allows for maximum fuel flow for an unrestricted pump shot !

I am going to install the same jetting I was running before ( 72 front , 72 rear) . Will see how this performs .

Over all very happy with this product. The added surprises in the kit really make this a great " bang for buck " purchase as far as I am concerned.

Unfortunately I'm in Ontario Canada, aside from a start up and idel setup in won't be able to do much else until spring time!
 
A fan of the 3310 from 50+ years ago, thank you for a well written take on your modification.Looking forward to your results !
 
All good news. I would use the 84 jets as a starting point. It may like an 81-82, but that's all in the ballpark of where it should be
 
Have 3 more points to add.

The main threaded hole for the air cleaner stud is a different size and shallower than the factory holley 1/4". For the proform you will need a 5/16 rod or you can buy adaptors . For the price of an adaptor your honestly better off buying a piece of 5/16 threaded rod.

Also something I thought worth mentioning is the different style orfice the Proform main body has for the signal to activate the vacuum secondaries. The proform has a small brass tube that protrudes into the venturi just shy of 1/8". The end is cut on an angle, which increases the surface area of the opening. My thoughts are this will provide a much stronger signal for the vacuum diaphragm? Possibly changing the required spring to get the secondaries to open correctly ?

Last point is , the proform body does not support the ported vacuum fitting on the primary fuel bowl.

Ported vac has to work off the primaries. My guess is that you have the pri & sec met blocks reversed.

Huh? The picture IS of the front primary block.

I have a small update to add.

I had set of 71 jets laying around, that I knew I was never going to use again. Knowing that I had 84 jets that came with kit ( but think they will be to big ) I decided to experiment drilling out the 71 jets . I went smaller than 84 but bigger then a 74.

I have had the car out a few times this summer. And have to say with nothing else changed the car idles better. There is definitely crisper throttle response . Over all power level is hard to judge until I make it to the track .

At cruise the car runs a bit richer 13.8 vs the original that running at 14.7 . I.m thinking the adjustable air bleeds may account for that as the primary jets are still the same 72.

A few WOT pulls show 12.4 on my wideband which seems to be right where it likes to be based on readings with the original mainbody that gave me my fastest ET. So I actually May have got lucky drilling out the jets !

Looking forward to trip the track for some real world numbers and to test out the new calvert mono leaf springs !
