How to convert 1050 Holley to E85
Does anyone know how to jet a 1050 holley carburetor to E 85? The engine compression is 13 to 1. When I am on the transbrake it acts like it is running out of fuel. My jet size is an 88 with a power valve in the front. In the back, I have a 98 with a block-off. I have a 130 needle seat. I have a Berry Grant 500 pump.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.
Quick Fuel Technologies makes metering block conversions for 4150 carbs, p/n 34-106. Something tells me that wouldn't apply to your 1050.
What kind of metering blocks does your carb have? If it has billet blocks with screw-in emulsion, idle and PV restrictors, you can convert it yourself.
There is a large thread on the topic. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/carb...-jetting.html?
