Carburetor
Throttle bushing needs rebuild on my Holley 3367 on 1966 327/350 horse. For cruising would like to replace with a new, street friendly, smooth running carburetor. Ideas, suggestions.

My NCRS membership for the last 18+ years tells me the same thing. Rebuild will tie original up 6 weeks and will certainly need a cruise fix during that time. Have read somewhere that there's some new carbs around that are street friendly and smooth cruisers. Thought it was worth a throughout.

I'm not sure if there is any direct bolt on carbs on the market. Most are just generic replacements

send your carb to VintageMusclecarParts for a rebuild - it will look and function like new when you get it back! Bolt it on, set the idle and go! They did my 3367 2 years ago!

I spent two weeks rebuilding the 3367 on R66 that had been setting for years. Spent hours flattening the warped and pitted base plate, boring and sleeving the throttle shaft bores and making new nylon bushings. Dipping and cleaning the body and metering block. New floats and new kit.
No regrets, it starts, runs, and performs just like a new car from GM.
The "Generic Replacement" Holley 600 cfm I took off was less than a year old and was running way too rich and needed a lot of attention. They just slapped it on out of the box to get the car running to sell.
IF you don't want to wait for the rebuild, I recommend buying the Holley Vintage replacement even though the price is "WOW". If you decide to buy a temporary replacement, I think the Generic I have is for sale on one of the forums. I'll look again. I really don't recommend them, but Holley does.
