Default Need help identifying this Carb

It is a Holley 4-barrel, that is all I know. It was left in my garage when I bought the house.

Here are the only numbers on it:

155255755
List-60160
0949





Any suggestions?

I suggest you rebuild it. :D
Would be interesting to see what one could do to that thing.

Anyways - I checked my books and it's not off a vette.

Check yahoo or google? It's probably -not- off a GM app.

Searched the Holley PDF for List 60160 0949 and didn't find anything that was even close. It might be one of the carbs that was used on a F@rd, I beleive that some of those were never listed by Holley and parts could only be purchased through F@rd. Externally it resembles a 4160, but it could be something else.

A coupla squirts of carb cleaner & that baby should be good as new ;)
I checked my Holley book & found the same thing that Smokehouse did. Most Holley part #s start w/ a "0-" followed by four digits, and a few also have another "-" followed by a single digit at the end. Maybe if you get the surfaces cleaned up a bit more you'll see more numbers.

WOW!!! I just found a listing for a super rare ZL-1 carb for only $50!!!
I spotted the part numbers and sure enough it's off a COPO 427 Camaro!!

Here's the location:

Bid early, bid high!

The guy I bought the house from was a "Chevy" guy, so you might not be that far off! Wish me luck. I think it is odd I can't find any of those part numbers any place on the web or the Holley website.

Zach: With all the BS posted on E-Bay...all you have to do is SAY that you bought the house from a guy that owned a COPO Camaro. You DON'T have to say the carb CAME off it. Let them ASSUME ;)
