John, this should help clear that up for you. Here's a few of pictures of a #3245 which came on factory Chevy II, L79's...
Much harder to find is a true statement provette67. In fact they are made out of unobtainium. When I was putting together my L79 in the Chevy II, I contacted Holley to see what could be done since they aren't made any more. It was at their suggestion to take a #3367, install a secondary metering block and I would then have created, in effect a functional #3245 for my Chevy II, L79, just without the LIST number. It would perform the same in all respects as a #3245 would. Since I built the car for Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Racing the LIST number didn't matter, only functionality and appearance, ie same CFM and vacuum secondaries etc. As I said my only experience was with Chevy II L79's and not Corvette L79's.
Oh and Donny, what are friends if not to tweak them?
See you in the staging lanes my friend. Thanks again everyone.Thomas
