3macboys Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I have this Holley carb that I think is a 1904 but correct me if I'm wrong. The tag shows: Series A0E Type 1AA and Date C The carb itself is just a core that needs rebuilding but I'm looking to find out what if fits and help decoding the tag.

carbking Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Early February 1961 Ford 144 CID 6 cylinder S/T, first design single barrel made by Holley. Carb is too dirty (and my eyes aren't sufficiently strong) to read the Holley number. But if you will take a wire brush, followed by a pencil eraser to the fuel boss in your first picture; then hit it with a strong light at a sharp angle, and look through a STRONG glass with a pair of young eyes, you should be able to read it. Personally, it looks beyond being a core. Jon. Edited March 31, 2020 by carbking (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you might be right about the condition - just hate to potentially toss something that might have had some value to someone. Now about the young eyes as I switch between readers and just regular old glasses I think that I'd have get my 15 yr old son do the dirty work and read those details. Thanks again and stay safe, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
