anyone know where the linkage for the oil metering lines should go to if your running a holley, or is there a way to do without the linkage altogether? by the way, its a 12a if it makes a difference...

Thanx,

All the folks i see running holley carbs dont run there OMP. They run premix.

so just ditch the whole thing and mix it at the pump, huh? that sounds easy enuf to me...how much oil should i mix with it, and which type of oils good? i just remembered seeing this site a while back and the guy had his oil metering lines going to the carb...can someone explain that one for me? he said it was how racing beat installed it, had them going into the primary float bowl.

check out the faq and look for premix, plenty of good info there. oil used is typicaly 2 stroke oil, and for the guy running his omp to the carb, maybe he had some fitment done to his intake manifoil.

anyway, it runs better on premix, and you dont have to worry about omp failure. and you can look special at the gaz station pooring oil in ur gaztank.

e30 is a bmw 3 series.

usually you premix 1 ounce of oil for every gallon of gas
