Holley 9776 Specs

Holley is a manufacturer of fuel systems, and since 1903 the companys workers have made over 250,000 carburetors. These carburetors have been made for vehicles like Henry Fords original Model A, factory muscle cars, and WWII PT Boats and airplanes. The Holley 9776 carburetor is one of Holleys Model 4160 Adjustable Float carburetors.

Part Number, Product Line and Application

    The 9776 carburetor is part of Holleys model 4160 four-barrel carburetors. The carburetors are meant for street and mild race vehicles, and they have vacuum secondaries with a metering plate that doesnt have accelerator pumps, power valves or jets. This means that the 9776 will be easier to tune than full race carburetors. The actual manufacturers part number of the 9776 carburetor is 0-9776 -- this number will come in handy if youre asking for information about it from a service technician.

Barrels, Flange, CFM, Choke and Fuel

    The Holley 9776 carburetor has four barrels and a square bore carburetor flange. The CFM or cubic feet per minute -- a measurement of air volume velocity in the carburetor -- has been measured at 450. This carburetor does not have a choke and it uses unleaded gasoline for fuel and a single fuel inlet. It comes with a 3/8-inch flare tube fitting to connect to the fuel line and two hose fittings: a 5/16-inch hose fitting and a 5/16-inch swivel fitting.

Secondary, Finish, Ford Kickdown and Throttle Linkage

    The Holley 9776 carburetor has a mechanical secondary, but it doesnt have a secondary accelerator pump circuit. The finish on the 9776 is dichromate, which gives the carburetor an orange-red color. The 9776 does not have a Ford kickdown, but it does have a universal throttle linkage.

Tire Tube Stem Specs

Tire Tube Stem Specs

There are three different kinds of tire tube stems: the Schrader, Presta and Dunlop valve stems. The Schrader valve is used on almost all automobile tires, the Presta is used on many road and mountain bikes and the Dunlop is a pneumatic valve used on bike tires in Japan and other countries that is somewhat out of date.

Schrader Valve Stems

    A Schrader valve is most often made of brass with a threaded end. For tires, the stems are usually of a standard size, with an external thread of 7.7 millimeters and an internal thread of 5.30 millimeters. If you press the internal pin of the tire stem with a tire gauge, you can measure the internal pressure of the tire. A spring in the Schrader valve ensures that it stays closed.

Presta Valve Stems

    Unlike Schrader valves, Presta valves have no spring, which makes them easier to pump. Presta valves are narrower than Schrader valves at 6 millimeters in diameter. A nut on the top of the valve allows air to flow in or out of the tire stem. After inflating the tire, you must screw the nut back on so air doesnt leak out.

Dunlop Valve Stems

    The bottom of the Dunlop (or Woods) valve starts out at about the diameter of the Schrader valve and then decreases in diameter to about the size of the more narrow Presta valve (6 millimeters). You let air out of the Dunlop or valve by unscrewing the top ring on the valve stem.

428 Motorcycle Chain Specs

428 Motorcycle Chain Specs

Motorcycles use chains to move power from the transmission to the wheels. Roller chains have two types of links. The inner link had two plates held together by two pins with sleeves covering the pins. Two rollers ride the bushings and touch the sprocket of the rear wheel. The outer link is simply a connector plate holding two inner links together. The 428 chain keeps power flowing on modern motorcycles and motorcycle-based small vehicles, such as ATVs.

Dimensions of the Links

    The inside width is the distance between the inside plates. Inside width of the 428 measures 7.95 mm. Pitch is the distance between the centers of the two inner link pins and is 12.700 mm on the 428. The roller diameter for the 428 is 8.51 mm. The pins inside the sleeves inside the rollers of the 428 are 4.45 mm thick and 16.7 mm long. The plates holding the inner links together are 1.60 mm thick.

The Strength of the Chain

    The American National Standards Institute tested the 428 chain for tensile strength and found that it takes a weight of 3,125 pounds to break it. ANSI recommends that the load on the 428 chain never exceed 810 pounds in continuous use.

The Weight of the Chain

    The 428 chain weighs 71 kg per meter of chain.

Bosch Fuel Pump Specs

Bosch Fuel Pump Specs

Bosch manufactures and distributes a wide variety of auto parts. Alongside products such as filters, alternators, brakes, starters and spark plugs, the company offers a number of turbine fuel pumps. Bosch fuel pumps most often serve as replacements in automobiles and feature such elements as polymer-encased armature, non-return valves and noise suppression coils.

Bosch In Tank 040 Fuel Pump

    Bosch intends the in tank fuel pump as a replacement and recommends it for automobiles that exceed OE specifications. Made in a universal style, it is suitable for use in vehicles with a horsepower of up to 700. It has an open base inlet connection, M10 by 1.0 outlet connection and a positive M6 by negative M5 electrical connection. The minimum current is 12 volts with an operating pressure of 94 PSI, and the minimum flow at the outlet is 80 GPH, or 300 LPH. It weighs in at 2.05 pounds and has a high temperature reduction of 8 GPH.

Bosch Inline 044 Fuel Pump

    This fuel pump mounts outside of the gas tank of a vehicle, or inline, and is generally centered in the rear. It can be used at the same time as a Bosch 040 fuel pump and with vehicles of up to 600 to 700 horsepower. It operates on a 12-volt current with a minimum 72.5 PSI. The inlet connection is M18 by 1.5, the electrical connection is a positive M6 by negative M5 and the outlet connection is M12 by 1.5. It has a high temperature reduction of 8 GPH, a minimum flow at the outlet of 80 GPH and weighs 1,030 grams, or 2.27 pounds.

Bosch Inline 909 Fuel Pump

    This Bosch fuel pumps mounts in vehicles in an identical fashion as the 044. It offers the same minimum current and operating pressure as the above in line model, but the minimum flow at the outlet is considerably less at 39 GPH, or 148 LPH. The inlet and electrical fuel pump connections are also different, with a 12mm inlet connection and a positive M5 by negative M4 electrical connection, while the outlet connection remains the same at M12 by 1.5.

Other Bosch Inline Fuel Pumps

    Bosch manufactures several other inline fuel pumps. The 910, 979, 911 and 984 models all mount identically in automobiles and run on a 12-volt minimum current. All but the 911 model, which has an operating pressure of 58 PSI, have an operating pressure of 72.5 PSI, and the minimum flow varies from 25.1 GPH to 43.6 GPH. The 910 and 979 models have identical outlet and electrical connections at M12 by 1.5 and positive M5 by negative M4, while the inlet connection of the former is 15 mm and of the latter is M14 by 1.5. Similarly, the 911 and 984 inline fuel pumps have identical electrical and outlet connections, while the inlet connections vary at 15 mm by 1.5 and 12 mm by 1.5 respectively.

Features and Benefits

    Alongside the electrical and power specifications of specific models, all Bosch fuel pumps are made with certain core components. A noise suppression coil eliminates interference from radio frequencies, a non-return valve both reduces hot start problems and maintains the pressure of the system and a Bosch impeller ring allows for smooth fuel flow. Additionally, premium carbon brushes and spin-balanced, polymer-encased armature offers a longer service life and reduced vibration and noise.
