[/QUOTE] I’ve had a lot of holly carburetors a part before. But I have never seen any baffling inside like this before?[/QUOTE]
Factory installed on OEM '71-72 Holley for then-new Evaporative emissions regulations. Reduces bowl volume so less grams evaporates after shutdown.
Also came on my over the counter GM 4803 Holley.
I found a quote in an old Holley book. If you want it, PM me and I'll scan it for you.
Just one more example of a so-original car, even including the brass fuel filters.
I have no idea what you’re referring to I went to the links that you sent I don’t need new floats I was just curious about the baffling inside the float bowl and inside metering block
Wasn't sure if you were surprised by the float ? Guess not. The GMheritage site has a ton of information on your LT-1.
All good, have fun.
The video was done on phone, I downloaded it to my computer, put it up on Utube, and then put it in here as a link. You might well be able to load it to Youtube direct from your phone. The forum wouldn't take it direct from my computer, wrong format.
Good luck! I was wondering if the TI ignition was still viable.

I found the documentation on the strange Holley bowl stuffers you found. Just one more authentic original piece on that car. Here is an article that mentions that they are original and why:
From a 1976 copy of Holley Carburetors & Manifolds by HP Books & Mike Ulrich & Bill Fisher:
"Evaporative Emissions - In 1970-71, total evaporative emissions allowed from any car were six grams per hot soak. In 1972, that allowance was reduced to two grams per hot soak. It should be noted here that this reduction in allowable evaporative emissions created the need for reducing the bowl capacity of some Holley Carburetors with bowl stuffers."

Reason: date
i just bought one of those books..its publication date is 1976.. i could not find one dated 1978? there was one dated 1972 1976 and 1987... thanks again..troy
It was this one. It does say 1976 copyright printed. date - (my bad) but it also says revised 8-78 So i'm not sure what year it is. Carb stuffers on p. 149
HI, Just wondering, any progress ?
Peace,,, Moosie
no moosie,
i have been busy on the farm. i drove it around, and put about 30 miles on it going too buddys houses showing it off. then i took the top out of it so it could air it out, and i put it in the building.. i start it every few days just too here it ! that things runs pretty good. so it will sit for a few more months until i get the 68 ready for paint.
on another note, i found a 69 427 coupe one owner thats been sitting since 89. the son of the OP has been storing it in his garage and wants it gone.. OP is too old and does not care about the car or have the knowledge too do anything with it .. so i may have too find a hiding spot! ....troy
...congrats 20round, great find & great story!!! Super cool that it's one of the first & lowest known '71 LT-1 cars found. Very nice!!! Keep posting the progress!!! Everybody loves pics!!!
