Dominator HP #36 Air Bleed

The Dominator HP #36 Air Bleed from Holley is a precision carburetor tuning component designed for engine builders, performance technicians, and motorsports enthusiasts who demand exact air-fuel mixture control. A set of 10 bleeds allows users to fine-tune idle circuits and transition zones across multiple carburetors or to maintain spare parts for competitive engines that require frequent recalibration. These brass air bleeds are essential consumables in high-performance carburettor calibration, particularly for engines running at varying altitudes, ambient temperatures, or fuel octane ratings.

Constructed from brass, the Dominator HP #36 Air Bleed features a 0.036-inch internal diameter that meters precisely metered air into the carburetor's emulsion tubes and idle galleries. This air bleed size is calibrated to lean out fuel delivery in the idle and low-speed circuits, preventing over-enrichment that causes rough running, increased emissions, or fuel consumption penalties. The #36 specification represents a mid-range bleed diameter—larger than #30 (richer), smaller than #40 (leaner)—making it suitable for naturally aspirated V8 and small-block engines operating in temperate climates. Brass construction resists corrosion from ethanol-blend fuels and provides repeatable, long-term dimensional stability critical for consistency across test runs and competitive sessions.

Engine tuners, race teams, and restoration specialists rely on graduated air bleed sets to dial in Holley carburetors for specific engine combinations, fuel types, and operating conditions. Installation requires removal of the carburetor air horn and careful positioning into the emulsion tube boss; torque specifications must be observed to prevent thread stripping or internal fuel passage blockage. The set of 10 units ensures adequate inventory for dyno testing iterations, field adjustments, or maintaining spares for multiple carburetors in a shop environment. Compatible with Holley Dominator and Universal series carburetors featuring standard 0.375-inch SAE air bleed threads.
