Absolutely. Just checked again and verified the numbers. It also has a Ford Motorcraft tag on it. Don't know if this helps or not.
Thanks

Re: Holley Carb ID needed (8TL82)
I brushed some more gunk off to claify those numbers (which are right) and found some more under the List-8418. "2329". Does this help?
Thanks

You probably will not find info on that carb from Holley.
A customer of mine had a 1968 Cougar and he bought an Edelbrock manifold, and pirated a "Ford" Holley off an abandoned Ford van with a 351 in it. He asked me to rebuild the carb for him & install the intake & carb. I had a HE LL of a time getting info on that carb.... with no application to work from. I had to go to Ford to get the kit... it was $75... and that was ten years ago. Holley & Ford have an agreement... you can't get the info or kit from Holley.... only from Ford. Isn't love wonderful?
If you can convince one of the air-heads at your favorite auto parts store to actually look in a book (eeeegad... he'll have to think), he might be able to use the Ford number to come up with a kit for less than $100.
Good luck.
