I'm trying to figure out what type of Holley carburetor I have.

I got some numbers off the carburetor...

10569

80508-3

1884

I tried looking these numbers up on the Holley site, the closest match I found was

80508S

I'm not sure if that is it or not?

Here are some pictures

The Holley site has Tech Support. Run those number by them, and see what they say you have.

Thanks,

They were very fast!

HI,
thanks for your e-mail
you have a model 4160 750 cfm
vacuum sec.
renew kit part # 37-754
Thanks Ricky

The rebuild kit is about $27 from Summit, not too bad at all.

 

Why dont we just swap 71 Fastbacks? That way I can fix the carb and you can have mine..

 

I would, but I've became attached to this spitting and sputtering thang.......

 

Update:

I took my car to a friend of mine who builds hot rods. He suggested that we change out the power valve in the Holley Carburetor, which we did.

We then changed out points for pertronix igniter, and a flame thrower coil, got out the timing light and adjusted the timing. We adjusted the timing from 0 advance to 10deg advance, did have something strange happen there. The plug wire to the #1 cylinder would only fire when pulled out of the distributor. I could hold it just above the distributor and it would fire like crazy, but when plugged in it wouldn’t fire the timing light? Regardless the car is still backfiring through the carburetor. But I think I have a bigger problem now.

While we were adjusting the timing, I started hearing a loud squeaking or chirping that seems to come from approximately the #4 cylinder.

I’m guessing something is going wrong in that head??

When it rains it pours!!!

 

[&:] sorry to hear about your problem, I cant help im about as mechanically skilled as a rock. Sweet car though good luck with it!

 

that is very wierd about the wire not firing. It should fire if it's anywhere close to the contacts. Would the squeking/chirping go away, with different timing? DOES IT HAVE OIL???? It might just be valve noise, or something along those lines.

 

I agree, we even tried using different wires on the first cylinder, but all had the same result. I’m thinking about putting the old distributor cap on and seeing if it still does it.


No, the timing didn’t seem to have any effect on the squeaking or chirping.

Oh yes, that was my first fear, I also checked to make sure we weren’t running hot, we were running at 180deg. With good oil pressure, around 25psi at idle to 60psi plus when revving. .

Might be, but it is kind of loud, enough that you hear it over the engine revving.
