69 L88 Question
I was digging through my basement looking for parts for a different car when I came across a carburetor and manifold that I believe along to an original 1969 L 88 with a TH400. Can someone help me identify these two items. Does anyone have numbers for the carburetor and manifold.

A genuine Holley for an L88 would have one of two numbers on it...3925519 or 3955205.
The intake should have the number 3933198 for an L88. If it has the number 3919851 it's for a '67 L88.

No it does not belong to a car I own. The original owner took it off and put a Edelbrock manifold with a dominator. As to the question of the open Plenum, please look at my picture and see if that looks right.

Thanks for the reply, but now I am really confused. I did some Google searching and found:
http://www.wernersparts.com/Intake%20Manifolds.htm
Intake Manifold, Aluminum Casting #3933198
Date 10-30-69 - 427/430 - Cleaned, no cracks,
no welds, never milled. Correct cut on plenum
No oil shield. 1968 Corvette L88, 1969 Corvette
L88, ZL1, and 1969 Camaro ZL1 WC 84 1968-69 1,800.00
http://www.wernersparts.com/images/photos2/IM000396.JPG
That looks to be identical to mine. Do you have a picture of what you are referring to with the huge square hole?

Thanks for the reply, but what I was trying to verify was whether my manifold PN #3933198 is correct. Ironcross suggests its not, but all the #3933198 on Ebay and Werners look like mine. The Picture Roger pointed to was PN #3885069 for a 67.
