View Full Version : Restamped Carb date? Lawrence Shaw Feb 3rd, 07, 01:26 PM This date code font looks funny to me. Is this correct? :noway: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-1969-68-69-CAMARO-Z-28-HOLLEY-CARB-DZ-4053-DATED_W0QQitemZ250078446031QQihZ015QQcategoryZ1007 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem L72/RS Feb 3rd, 07, 02:22 PM Looks like a "RESTORATION" carb to me. New carb stamped to match any desireable date you need. He has had more 891 dated Holley carbs than anybody. JMHO Eric nashcar Feb 3rd, 07, 02:23 PM The description reads "new". I would say it's a new Holley remake that this guy has stamped but the seller does'nt tell you that. Another "NOS" item you can't live without. I would say beware. I bought a part from him,once. nashcar Feb 3rd, 07, 02:24 PM L72/RS beat me buy 1 minute. Vintage Musclecar Feb 3rd, 07, 04:01 PM Service replacement carb. "Funny" would be a polite way to put it. rszmjt Feb 3rd, 07, 07:42 PM Vintage Musclecar is correct. Original carbs never used hex head bowl screws either. Also the baseplates are somewhat different. Date is is the wrong place on the airhorn also when i compared it to my original 9-5-2. JMO. JohnZ Feb 4th, 07, 06:49 PM Holley has made many new runs of "vintage musclecar" carburetors in the last two years with no dates on the air horns for several vendors who apply their own dates - this is one of them. :thumbsup: |
