Confused On Holley 600cfm Carb ?
« on: March 18, 2018, 08:15:31 PM »
I have a Holley that I believe is a 4150 ?
It does not have the brass tag.

The two numbers I read are below, but do not have the numbers before and after these numbers like shows on the link I provided.
I want info on exactly what carb this is, and to buy a rebuild kit. Some of the numbers on the site say it's for the Shelby GT 350.

3259
List- 4366

Nope.... not for a GT350.

It's a 4160, 570cfm carburetor originally made for a 440 Dodge with an automatic transmission, built on November 21, 1969.

Ohh and when buying a kit, I think that carb has an accelerator pump transfer tube, so you'll need the orings for that.

Some carbs have a transfer tube between the metering block and main body for the accelerator pump.
These carbs have two orings for the tube and a different metering block gasket.

Will any 4160 570cfm carb rebuild kit work or do I need more numbers ?
Is it 1969 (+/-) era carb ?

Just looked it up. This is my exact carb ?

If it was me?  I'd use
3-2001-QFT


https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qft-3-2001qft/overview/

But I'd make sure it has the accelerator pump transfer tube first.... just pop off the metering block

Hey Drew,
Is the link you provided have that provision or do I need some other part number ?

It has everything you need, assuming you have the transfer tube I mentioned (you need to take the metering block off to know, I simply don't recall, nor is it in my notes).

Only thing it does not contain are floats and VS diaphragm as I buy these elsewhere, tho in your case I think I'd look at the existing parts before replacement.... in my case the carbs are for sale, so it's just a good practice to change them.
