Just an update on this "4160 Float Bowl" change. Never got a answer to my e-mail from Holley so I called them direct. Rep said they didn't manufacture that type of bowl anymore but the bowl with-out the vent would work just fine. He gave me the names and numbers of two companies that may have that bowl, mainly re-builders and suppliers of vintage carbs. Anyways, I plugged that hot slot and installed the new bowl(with-out the vent). Works fine so I'll go with it until I find an original. Oh yea, on the plus side, as "tbarb" pointed out above, I don't smell as much gas vapor in the garage on shut down as with the old vented bowl.

I need a rear float bowl for the Holly List 3605.
The float adjustment threads are stripped and can't adjust the float level.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Looks like a thread insert can be done by a few carburetor restore shops. That is the way I am going.
thanks again

BTW, I should have said the bowl had the stripped thread - thus a bowl problem, not the adjuster problem.

I had the same problem needed a front bowl for my 67, 3811. Back ordered, unavailable couldn't find a used bowl anywhere

Then with a little research I found that a 1966 Dodge/ Plymouth with a 440 used a Holley carb with the exact same bowl , same Holley casting number ,same vent linkage, the only difference I could find was the rubber stopper was shaped a little different than the original. I bought 2 parts carbs off Ebay for $30. and now I have a spare bowl [not for sale]
