C2: Holley Carbs- Does anyone know

[Gerard F.]

The assembly process for Holley carbs. When was the date code put on the air horn; was the carb fully assembled at that point? What was the process of sending the carb to the Corvette assembly plant, and at what point in the assembly process was the carb put on the engine, and then tested out.

Jerry -

The carb was installed about 1/3 of the way down the engine dress line, and its only "test" was the first time the car was started and driven off at the end of the Final Line. The only adjustment made to the carb at St. Louis was idle rpm, if it wasn't in spec when it was started (unless the carb was really out of whack).
