I have a 73 L48 with a Holley 4360 Economaster (l-7454). The original owner tossed the Q-jet. The carb needs a rebuild, acc pump is the main issue.


I prefer to keep the car all original. I could just do a rebuild, or look for an updated Holley or look for a Q-jet.


any thoughts?

Hi r,
If you do in fact "prefer to keep the car all original" I'd think finding the proper q-jet for a 73 base motor car would be a good choice.
Regards,
Alan
