ecz manifold question

I picked up a used ECZ-9425-B manifold and it seems on one of the coolant ports there is a hole that's filled with something. is it supposed to be like that or is it for something? also should I be concerned?

Thats the exhaust port cross over to heat the manifold. The plugged tube was for hot air tube for the choke.

Not really anything to be concerned about.....I would remove the "stuff", it appears that the "hole" might be 1/4" or 3/8" NPT. after removing the stuff, run a pipe tap in there to clean up the threads and put a brass plug in it.

Either use a manual, electric, NO choke, or put an MSD/Holly TBI EFI system on it.

My Y has got a brand new Holley 390cfm 4bbl with an electric choke on it. I will probably not even connect it (the choke) .

AND I am seriously considering just selling the carb and installing an MSD Atomic Throttle body EFI https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...tbi/parts/2900

Cheers,

Rick

Have you done any other engine mods? I am wanting to get an EFI on my Y. But it’s stock.

I’ve helped a friend install a Sniper on his, wasn’t that hard. Ia the Atomic fairly the same? I see they’re both Holley brand.

My next door neighbor has an Atomic on his SBC and he loves it. I had another shop try to sell me on the Sniper but I think that was because they had one they wanted to sell.
I don't think they're all that different. The Atomic is MSD and plays well with all the other MSD "stuff" (Holley aquired MSD)
