With a lock washer or star nut or you will be doing it next week.

Do a search on this site for the Holley 1920 repair guide. SL6 Dan has posted it many times. It is a .jpg manual about 15 pages long.

If you can't find it send me your email. I will send you a copy.

Well a friend told me that the problem may be the fact that i dont have a spacer for the Holley 1920 anymore, is it possible that a lack of a 1/2 inch spacer can trigger a very large vaccuum leak?

You do need to be running the correct (3/8" thick) spacer gasket, or you'll have heat and linkage related problems, but I don't think that's causing your whistle.

You can buy just the gasket from a good carb shop. Our shop out here has about 4 different thickness gaskets so you can shim the power valve. If you don't have a shop handy, you can get one out of a carb kit. However, the gasket may be fairly thick. I am using a the thinest gasket they have available of the four.
