NHRA class racing has very specific rules regarding allowable components in sanctioned events. One carburetor may be legal on one engine but not legal on another. Quick Fuel Technologies (QFT) allows you to either custom order your carburetor or get one of several \u201cspec\u201d on the shelf carburetors that will be legal for your vehicle and also perform almost perfectly right out of the box. All of them have the NHRA-approved list number stamped on their sides straight from the box.<\/p>\n

New Design Based on Years of Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

QFT has been successful for years in the NHRA\u2019s Stock and Super Stock divisions, both of which are highly competitive. Over those years they\u2019ve been able to gather information that has been put to use when designing and building their custom SSR carbs. These are great replacements for the competition legal per class O.E. Holley carbs which can be hard to find and expensive when you do find them.<\/p>\n

Now they\u2019ve been able to massage that information in such a way as to help them design an NHRA-legal \u201cspec\u201d carb that customers can buy right off the shelf, allowing them save a bit of money. Give them your specifics (including location\/altitude) and they\u2019ll sell you a carb they have in stock that will be able to perform optimally with minimal, if any adjustments needed.<\/p>\n

\"Carburetors,
The SSR MS Gage Rule 750 CFM carburetor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For example, they have a total of 11 that are rated at 850 CFM for different specific applications. For example:
\n\u2022 Part Number SSR-850-MS has manual secondaries and is spec for either a manual transmission or an automatic with Transbrake at sea level.
\n\u2022 Part Number SSR-850-VS-MS vacuum secondaries instead of manual secondaries.
\n\u2022 Part Number SSR-850-VS-AS has vacuum secondaries and is spec for an automatic with the foot brake at sea level.
\n\u2022 Part Number SSR-850-VS-AE is the same except for above 3000 feet.
\n\u2022 Part Number SSR-850 is a direct replacement for the Holley 4781in the Stock and Super Stock classes with 1.562 inch primary and secondary venturi and a throttle bore of 1 \u00be inches.<\/p>\n

Installation Is Quick and Easy with Just a Few Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Carburetors,
Label everything connected to the carburetor. Your application may have more or fewer hoses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can adjust the QFT SSR carburetors all you want, just be sure that two of the included lead balls are install over the secondary mixture screws when you get the car to the track. To remove an old carburetor and install one of these, you\u2019ll need a \u00bd inch wrench or socket with an extension and swivel. You\u2019ll need a 5\/16 inch wrench, a 5\/8 inch wrench, a large flat and a small flat screwdriver to make adjustments after it\u2019s installed.<\/p>\n

Disconnect the air horn if your car has one and remove the air cleaner housing. Disconnect the PCV and\/or breather as you pull the housing off the carburetor. Remove the fuel line(s). Label and remove the vacuum lines and disconnect the throttle (and kickdown if you\u2019ve got an OD transmission) linkage. Using the \u00bd inch, remove the four nuts and washers that secure the carburetor to the intake. Make sure everything is clear and pull the old carburetor out.<\/p>\n
