Holley poll
 
Have you ever bought a NEW Holley product (Holley, NOS, Flowtech, Hooker, Earl's, Wieand) for your car? And by NEW I mean from a retailer where some of the money goes back to Holley.

IF YOU BOUGHT USED PARTS OR PARTS FROM SOMEBODY ON A FORUM, SECONDHAND, ETC IT DOES NOT COUNT. STRAIGHT FROM A RETAILER ONLY.

I've bought a ridiculous amount of stuff from them. Lets see;

Holley 250 supercharger (looking for another one)
about three Weiand intakes
about $1000 worth of Earl's fittings and hose
two sets of Hooker headers
a million Holley carbs ( I still have four of them I think)
a pair of FlowTech glasspacks (still in the box)

Jersey_TA 02-12-2008 04:35 PM

Yes, holley plug wires(for my bro), hooker L/T headers and off-road Y, flowtech cutout(old setup)

The Fixer 02-12-2008 04:53 PM

Hooker catback for the current Monte, and another pair of Hooker Aerochambers for my old Monte.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised at the results of the poll. I would have figured that a lot of people bought their cars with holley stuff on it or bought stuff used/secondhand.

You said you had an idea and started this poll...I'm curious, what was the idea?

unstable bob gable 02-12-2008 10:37 PM

I bought my first Holley carbs, Hooker Headers, Earl's fittings, and NOS N2O kits back in the day when they were all seperate companies. Geez, let's go in the waaaaaaay back machine: first Holley carb and Hooker headers were for my 63 Falcon, which was around 1985. Earl's fittings about the same time. NOS kit was for my 1987 Z-24 Cavalier, which woulda been July, 1987. :)

sinistr 02-12-2008 10:44 PM

i think the prices in the poll should be raised :mrgreen:

BigAls87Z28 02-12-2008 10:48 PM

Sure have. Lot of hooker stuff, a little holley parts here and there. Im looking for a good deal on a holley carb, but some people are telling me to get a Demon.

I was curious if the late model fuel injection crowd bought a lot of Holley stuff, considering their primary business is carburators. Granted, Hooker and NOS products are popular no matter what your induction type but I was curious.

See, I've only bought about $100-200 of Holley's stuff new. Everything else was used- 5 carbs, 2 sets of headers, a Cheater system, 2 fuel pumps etc ... were all bought secondhand. I almost never bought anything from a retailer.

PolarBear 02-15-2008 12:07 PM

I got a Holley 52mm TB on my car and lots of AN fittings and hose. I have to be honest, I liked the red TB blades and that is what made me buy it :rofl:

jims69camaro 02-15-2008 12:14 PM

i'm amazed and ashamed to admit that i've never bought anything new from any of those companies, either seperately or under the holley umbrella. it's always been easier (and cheaper) to buy someone else's carb and rebuild it, or find some of the other companies' products used and not have to lay out a huge chunk of change.
