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)

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.

Thumbs up

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.

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.

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

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.
