    	I have been trying to locate a rebuild kit for an *odd*
    	looking Holley 4v. and a replacement cost.
    	
    	On the base is the number R-1074-2AS.  The only other numbers
    	are the patent #'s and an Alcoa casting #.  All parts stores I
    	called cannot locate the number.  A few places I brought it
    	into never saw anything like it.  I'm trying to get a replacement
    	value to determine what to ask for it if it goes with some other
    	stuff into Hemmings.
    
    	It was new 25 years ago and sat on a shelf in my fathers garage,
    	the squirels ate the box it was in.  I think it was meant for
    	a 53 Ford 2dr Victoria w/239 Flathead my brother owned -(sold
    	about 18 yrs ago).
    
    	If you never saw an Autolite in-line 4, you'd probably have the
    	same comments - without knowing what *those* babies are worth...
    
    	Any ideas or places I might call?
    
    
    	Description:
    	
    	4.5" square base
    	1.25" bores
    	7.5" tall
    	Vaccuum secondaries
    	
    	I wonder what the air cleaner might have looked like?
    
    	I have the thing at my feet today (9/17) and can describe it better
    	over the phone or throw it on the copier and fax it someplace.

| 144.1 | Y-block carb | CSLALL::NASEAM::READIO | A Smith & Wesson beats four aces, Tow trucks beat Chapman Locks | Thu Sep 15 1994 10:49 | 8 | 
| Sounds more like a carb from a mid fifties Y-block than something from a flathead, since they only had 2 bbl carbs. Try looking at 272 / 292 / 312 applications for '55 or '56. | |||||
| 144.2 | Call | CXDOCS::HELMREICH | Steve | Thu Sep 15 1994 14:59 | 8 | 
| Call Holley. Some of their carbs are considered OEM replacement carbs, and kits won't be readily available, and/or the carb won't be listed. I have a funky one on my Mustang that no one could identify. They have a non-toll-free technical hotline (that is frequently busy). The people I talked to were quite knowledgable. I don't have the number handy. | |||||
| 144.3 | Holley info | STAR::HREAD | Thu Sep 22 1994 07:12 | 12 | |
| I found the carb in my Holley data book. It's for a 1955 Ford & Merc 292. Ford P/N ECK 9510V Tag on carb ECK-V Holley model 4000 PEP kit p/n 3-105 Master kit p/n 85R-412S The kit part numbers are Holley kits. They should be able to cross them at any decent parts place. The PEP kit is a basic kit. The master kit has more parts. Enjoy | |||||
