Can anyone tell me what these metering blocks go to? They are on my 4053 which are incorrect. Front #5584 Rear #3828.


Thanks

How do you know they are incorrect ????

Aren't the correct blocks supposed to be 5583 and 4519? Everyone I have talked to say mine have been changed.

John Hinckley (JohnZ) recently sent e-mail to me and stated that mine have been swapped.

Forgive me...It has been a while since my last post.

I first posted this question back in '05 about having the wrong metering blocks on my 4053. Then the post died. Since then I have searched the internet to find anything on metering blocks for the Holley carb and have come up empty. Is there some kind of secret to metering blocks that no one is supposed to know? Can ANYONE help me out?

As per John H. the original 5583 and 4519 have been swaped out for a 5584 and 3828.

Any Holley restorers out there want to tell me what these metering blocks go to and where I can find the correct ones so I can get my carb redone?

JM might be able to help with this and a show quality rebuild.........Camaro High Preformance (http://http://www.z28camaro.com/restosvcs.html)


Hope this helps a little...

8ball...thanks for the replies. I found the first 2 links you posted a while back with no luck finding info.


The last 2 links didn't work for me, Internet Explorer wouldn't open them.
However I did go to the ebay adresses directly and found more info than I have in at least a year.



I noticed in my quest that there are others who are looking for the same answers and not having any luck as well. Thanks for the heads up on CHP.

I am only wanting to rebuild it at this point due to my budget, so I have a friend locally doing it for me (owes me a favor).

Have you called holley tech, they should be able to tell you what they came from.

Fixed bad links from above...

Thanks 8ball for your help. Now I have to research both carb numbers to verify if at least the rear 3828 block is correct for them.

Anybody?

Thanks Dennis.

"Now I have to research both carb numbers to verify if at least the rear 3828 block is correct for them"

Both of the carbs have the wrong blocks, front and rear according to
Cbtn.

Cbtn? I posted a question on the Holley Carb Tech site. Maybe I can finally solve this mystery.

Cbtn = Chevrolet by the numbers by Alan Colvin

Thanks. One book I still haven't bought yet.

Have you called holley tech, they should be able to tell you what they came from.

I have questions posted at the Holley Carb Tech site but haven't had a reply so far.

If you really want to know and find out promptly call Eric Jackson at (937) 836-5927 or email him - sales@vintagemusclecarparts.com.

This guy is THE MAN when it comes to Holleys. he probably know more than Holley Tech.

Here's his website.

Hi Jonesy,

Just got off the Team Chevelle site.

Found out it is a service replacement dated 0811, and Eric told me that the blocks are correct for this carb. Now its decision time. Keep or sell.

Thanks everyone for the help solving this mystery.
