Are there any technical, practical or performance advantages to swapping out the Ford IAC for the Holley (GM/Chrysler) type?

There's some info about it in this post: http://forums.holley.com/showthread....neral-IAC-Info (General IAC Information - Read "IAC NOTES")May God's grace bless you in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Although the link does indirectly mention it, the Ford IAC function depends directly on engine vacuum to operate correctly. The greater the vacuum, the quicker and more positively the IAC will track. Trying to bench test a Ford PWM IAC will not replicate the action it would normally see when installed on an engine that creates a decent amount of vacuum. With an engine that doesn’t make great vacuum, it would be better to use a stepper style IAC .Comment

TRENDZ, those are good points to add. Thanks.May God's grace bless you in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you both. I was totally unaware that the Ford IAC needs a strong vacuum signal and that explains a lot. I'm lucky to get much over 7 inHg at idle.Comment
