The single fuel line is a good indication of a Holley carb.

IL code indicates a BB radiator....3/8 line, exhaust hanger and heater hose outlets are other good clues...a few more photos including core support and axle stamp would help.

Front opening on driver's side is larger on BB cars...look for welded nuts for rad attachment, small holes on top for rubber flap. Underside of hood should have factory brackets for the SS hood louvers. On some vehicles you can find paperwork stuffed up under the dash...near radio or headlite switch...it is "rare"..but, worth a look. SS car should have welded bracket for dual exhaust on driver's side frame rail. If front shocks or springs are original look for labels with letter codes/part numbers.

Good luck..wilma
