Re: oil leak, carburetor fire

It is a 750 holley 4 barrel. It was on there when I bought the car. I am pretty sure that it isnt the factory one, but it is what is on there now. It worked fine until I took off the intake manifold, with the exception being the elec choke was taken off and replaced with a manual choke. E4MC is the acronym used in the book.

If it's a Holley carb, it is DEFINITELY NOT original. Rochesters ONLY after about '72.

FWIW

Well, I'm certain there would have been some 'rigging' to get that to fly without the PCM being in control.

I would also say to make sure the intake manifold if fully seated and sealed.

Re: oil leak, carburetor fire

it would definitely need a non ecm controlled HEI distributor. other than that, it should be fine.

I am assuming it's a vacuum operated, make sure the hose is hooked up. I would like to say that the ignition is stand alone "almost" but it wouldn't work exactly right.
