Is the L71 the 400HP job? If so, my "Corvette by the Numbers" book says 3902353EU for end carbs and 3940929EV for the center. Hope this helps

Pretty sure same carbs on L71 (435 horse). The center carb is different if automatic (for either engine), maybe ending in 30 instead of 29?
See the Black Book, the NCRS TIMJG, or Rick Bizzoco's book.

Book says Holly 2300 2 was used for ALL the Corvette 3x2 from 67-69.
3902355EV is a 67 S/T center carb. Can't find a listing for 3902355EU. Believe your other number must be 3940929EV which is 68-69 400/435 and L89.
