Default Searching Holley R4056-A1

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a new center-carb for my '69 L68 autom. Should be Holley Part-# R4056-A1.

I've bought several carbs from Jerry Luck at Hazelwood MO in the past - but he died in April this year .

Do you have another adress, to buy a good carb for a reasonable price?

Greets from Germany

The new Holley 4160 should be a good replacement. Spread bore, electric choke and vacuum secondaries. It will fit under the stock hood.

Thanks for your suggestion - but I need the correct equipment.

My car ist "numbers match" an should stay in that condition. Another carb is out of discussion. I could accept another date-code - but not another carb.

the 4056 is the center carb of a tri power two barrel set up. A 4160 is a type of 4 barrel carb, totally different.
what is wrong with the current 4056 that prevents a rebuild from correcting the problem?

I just want to have a spare carb for a quick replacement. So I have time to repare or rebuild the leaking or disfunctional carb if it is necessary.

My Vette is driven all over the dry seasons - not only a show-car or a trailer-queen.

Does anyone here has a good adress to buy one - or has such an item for sale himself?

Regards
Gerrit
