Feedback Control Solenoid: Description and Operation


Since this system requires more precise fuel metering for efficient operation then is possible with a conventional carburetor, Electronic Feedback Carburetors, Holley model 6520 is used on four cylinder engines, 6280 on V6 and V8 engines, 6145 on Inline-6 cylinder, and the Carter BBD carburetor on V8 engines are used.
The feedback solenoid provides limited regulation of the air-fuel ratio on a feedback carburetor in response to electrical signals from the Spark Control Computer. It performs this task by metering air flow and operating in parallel with a conventional fixed main metering jet.
