Default L-78 Carb Kit ?

Anyone know the Holley Kit # for the 1970 L-78 List 4557 carb? Is it just the regular 3310 Kit ?
Thanks, Gary

I would double check with Eric at Vintage...he will give you the correct info. He can also do a great job on the rebuild or restoration [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thanks Guys,

Gary...Eric can do a straight up rebuild or a total restoration. If all you need is function...save the pretty stuff for later.

I can assure you he will deliver a first rate job...no excuses and provide excellent service...before, during and after [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

How about posting some photos of this bad boy L78 car...I always wanted to see one [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what the current Holley part # is for a <span style="font-weight: bold">correct</span> kit. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Holley has consolidated so many applications into a handfull of kits I can't keep track of what kits contain what power valves, needle &amp; seats, etc., plus they come with those awful blue &quot;non-stick&quot; (yeah, right) gaskets which I detest. That's why I build my own kits from bulk using parts sourced from a handfull of vendors--that way I know 100% what I'm getting.

I can put together a kit consisting of the parts I use, but I'll need to know how complete of a kit you'll need--do you want/need floats?--secondary diaphragm?--choke pull-off?--filters?--etc.

Eric

Hi Eric,
Please price a kit with everything and let me know. Thanks for your help, Gary


I'll try to get a couple photos posted next weekend although I'm pretty certain it won't live up to the &quot;wilma&quot; standards &quot;&quot;always wanted to see one&quot;&quot; Ha Ha !

Gameplan is to put the car into the Spring &quot;World of Wheels&quot; Barnfind display. It's been in storage waiting it's turn for longer than anticipated, so pretty dusty but the Numbers are still there!

I'm looking for a radiator shroud top mounting bracket if anyone knows of one ? Thanks, Gary
