Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Here you go. The Holley requires a vent line to the air cleaner. The Zenith did not. The advantage of the Holley is that it has an accelerator pump. Kevin.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
The Zenith has an accelerator pump, it is just vacuum operated.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
so does the holly give better performance or more horse power? Is that the reason why they converted to zenith?

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
I have used both and I do not see any performance advantage of one over the other. The engine power rating was the same with either carburetor. I think the change probably had more to do with Cost and contract than anything else. Those were the years where political cost cutting was coming in. I have 5 Holleys here and I rebuild Zeniths as a business/hobby, I run a Zenith on mine. Now, if you want to be correct the Holley is the correct carb for the early 151 as Kevin has mentioned. I am pretty sure they were not still in use on the A1 though. The biggest problem with the Holley is the fact that you cannot get parts or rebuild kits for them. Holley will tell you they never made that carb! I have some kits but I am holding onto them for the carbs I have here. It took me many years to find those kits.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Robert, In December 1962, Willys Motors, (Later to be Kaiser-Jeep) was awarded a second contract to make more M-151's. That contract was changed to reflect the production of the M-151A1 with a beefed up rear suspension as well as turn signals among other modifications. They began production of the A1 in December of 1963. There were 8816 units produced under this contract. I do not have the exact number of A1's made, but since the contract modification came shortly after the contract award, I will assume that their were thousands of A1's made with the Holley carburetor. Ford won the next contract that was for a three buy and began production of the M-151A1 starting with 2G0668 in Nov/Dec 1964 with the Zenith carburetor.
I have been buying NOS Holley soft repair kits from Army Jeep Parts.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Thanks Kevin, and it is Rick, not Robert. Since I do the rebuilds more on a professional line I prefer the complete, or Large, kits. I actually prefer modern kits with ethanol resistant rubber parts but that ain't happening for the Holley! The soft kit only has two or three gaskets if I remember correctly doesn't it? Interesting info on the A1, I thought the A1 started in 64, I was always under the impression mine was a transition vehicle since it had a lot of the components of both the straight and the A1.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Rick, I was actually addressing Robert who started this thread after my posting. You are to well known for me to start renaming you! The contract that was let and then modified to cover the A1's was DA-20-113-AMC 0846 (T). It was let 14 Dec 62. The range of assigned registration numbers were
2E8934-2E9999
2F0001-2F8817
Willys serial numbers were not the same as the registration numbers that went on the hood as Ford did. These were
19026 thru 28908
I forgot to include that the PS Magazine article on the carbs came from the June 1966 issue. I have attached a screen shot of the Holley kit from Army Jeep Parts website.
By the way, I have just been grapping pictures and article from my computer and dragging and dropping them below the text. Kevin.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Oop's, sorry Kevin, and Robert. That kit looks like it has more in it than the kits I have gotten in the past as soft kits. That appears to have the shaft seals in it along with the pump diaphragm. I may have to look into their kits. I have a few kits now. I have to count kits and carbs, I want to rebuild the ones I have and sell them since I am never going to use them and I am not getting any younger. Got to get an engine on the test stand again. Took a couple to the Gilbert show and was very disappointed. Only one person even knew what they were for and one old guy argued with me forever about the price and told me "A carburetor is a carburetor" I finally had to tell him to go away and leave me alone! Then he went to the poor guy across from me and started on him about his bayonets!

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Kevin & Rick, you guys are very well knowledgeable of these carburetor and a great assist to this site. This is really some great information. Kevin, sorry if I may have misdirected your positing into a informational conversation rather your sale. Rick, I agree the point of the holly carburetors was a cost factor on the new contract award. I do remember reading that one point of removing the Holley was to reduce or limit the performance as well towards safety. As GI's will do, turn them into racing cars when we got bored. I just purchased a week before this posting a Zenith from Army Jeep Parts and would have preferred the Holley, dam it. I know Army Jeep Parts provides some good stuff but after I installed the Zenith it it had a major leak at the inline filter housing it was the washer mounted wrong so when I removed it, it was missing the filter and the reason why because the bolt apparently was broken off so they never installed the filter. I removed it and used my old one off the bad carburetor.

Re: Rebuilt Holley Carb for sale
Those filters were usually tossed and never replaced. They were nothing more than a screen and if anything got past the first filter it was sure to get past that one. I think out of all the carbs I have rebuilt I may have found one that still had the filter in it and that was a broken carb that probably got destroyed in a wreck before the first service. And the Holley did not give any better performance, that is just people using the Holley name and talking it up. The engine itself is self limiting mostly due to the design of the exhaust manifold. If exhaust cannot get out then air can't get in. It is impossible to over rev one of these engines, they simply cannot move enough air. So no carburetor is going to be any better than another.
