A simple calculation I use all the time when playing with Holleys and Boosted Engine Systems.

The ASSUMED CONSTANTS:

M (dot over the M) = 1
R specific = 1545.348
T1 = 116 degrees F (assumed Underhood Temp)
Ta = 575.67
Z = 1
Pa = 14.6959494
P1 = 0
MW air = 28.9644
Q = 14.51358717 Cubic Feet of Air per Pound of Air

1 divided by 14.51358717 = 0.068900954 Lbs of Air Mass per Cubic Foot of Air.

If you lower the Temperature T1 to 80 degrees F (vs the previous 116 degrees F)
80 degrees F now being AMBIENT Air Temp vs Underhood Air Temp you get:

Q= 13.60596798 Cubic Feet of Air per Pound of Air

1 divided by 13.60596798 = 0.07349716 Lbs of Air Mass per Cubic Foot of Air.

So Temperature of the air entering the carb does make a difference in the Holley Fuel Calibration.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
