You've been talking to the wrong people.

No Holley carburetors after the 72 LT-1s.

Sarge, remember...I don't have the 454 just the plain ole stock 195hp 350 engine. I hope that Patrick's number is correct. Which engine is that I have ? L48? L82? LT1's I don't know. Not even sure if it is original. Might have been replaced thru the years. all I know is that I see a stamped "MEXICO" on the back of engine driverside. Help

More than likely an aftermarket replacement.
