'71 LT-1 Holley carb List#4801

[David K.]

My original Holley carb (List# 4801) on my '71 LT-1 is acting up and needs to be rebuilt. Is there a modern day replacement Holley carb that I can put on in its place while I have the original off. Will the replacement have the same set up so that I do not have to cahnge anything on the car. I just want to bolt it on, adjust and go.

Had my original carb done by a local guy who used to work for holley . If you live near the Detroit area I'm sure he could help .Mine looks and functions like new .

Nope - In Texas and I plan to have it in Waco for my regional Founder's requirement. So that is why I am looking for anything that will work right now. After the show I will have more time to have it rebuilt.

dave,try a holley 3310 and add the 34-13 rear metering block kit---not sure if the choke setup will work but everything else should---good luck,phil

Other than "restoration" type Holley carbs, there are NO Holley carbs available that will have a divorced choke like your application uses. Otherwise, there are several Holley carbs available with electric choke that you could adapt to your application. Or, you can use a model with no choke; you might not need one.

David one carb you can use is Holley 650 0-4777C double pumper that will bolt on your LT-1 intake and has manual choke. Have one on my ZZ1 crate engine in my 70. The ZZ1 was the last ZZ crate engine to use an aluminum intake very much like the original LT-1. Really like the total control of when the secondaries are used and how you can use partial or all of the secondaries. You don't really need it, but a 750 is available also. You might just like the double pumper that you will save your original from wear.
