Holley 2818 are being repro. Places like Jegs,Summit & some Corvette parts vendors have them for about $600. If you re looking for an original w. correct dates that will be difficult.

Also, note that the original 2818 used a threaded fitting in the primary metering block for the vacuum advance connection

But the later re-issue 2818s use a pressed-in vacuum nipple.

And some of the later re-issues used a different metering block, and that pressed-in vacuum nipple was a "ported" source, not full manifold vacuum like the originals.

Forum member Billd1954 had two 2818 carbs for sale in the parts section a couple of weeks ago. One was an original date coded one.....and the other one was a brand new one. Last I saw, neither had sold. I think he was asking 300 dollars each. His email is williamdonovan@msn.com.
