<\/a><\/p>\nIn the last three segments of our series, we took a detailed look at Holley\u2019s Gen 3 Dominator. They\u2019re an impressive carburetor, but we\u2019re not quite done yet. Check out the following:<\/p>\n
Not mentioned elsewhere is the surface finish on the Gen 3 Dominator carbs. They\u2019re available in what Holley calls, \u201cHardcore Gray\u201d. This isn’t just a surface finish on the main body and bowls to sell parts. Instead, it\u2019s a hard coat anodizing. The idea here is to keep the carburetor looking good for an extended period of time. It is cool though in that it contrasts nicely with the black anodized metering blocks. By the way, the big carburetors are also available with a polished body with your choice of a red or black anodized aluminum components (metering blocks, boosters, bowl fuel fittings, etc.). Each of the finishes is covered by a separate part number.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When it comes to the bowls, the actual fuel capacity has been increased by 20%. Obviously, the extra volume reduces the chance of fuel starvation. When you take a closer look at the bowls (see the accompanying images) you can see a unique \u201cshelf\u201d situated below the needle and seat. What this does is to minimize fuel aeration. Additionally, a special trough has been built into the bowl. The purpose is to direct fuel to the jets. Certainly, this trough keeps the jets covered, but it what it does is to stabilize the air fuel ratios. The bowls are also baffled internally. The idea here is to keep fuel slosh to a minimum when you get on the throttle. Also included is a set of new secondary jet extensions. Unlike earlier screw-in versions, these new extensions are brass sleeves that simply slip over the jet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Externally, the bowls are equipped with huge see-through windows that make for easy float settings. Bowl inlets are machined in 8AN (o-ringed). This makes plumbing easy, and like earlier examples, the bowls are threaded and tapped on either side. Holley includes AN plugs on one end of each bowl along a -6 AN to -8AN fitting on the opposite end. One incredibly good feature is a new, easy-to-access drain port on each bowl (it\u2019s obvious here the folks from Holley were paying attention to racers).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
