Default 750s and 780s....3310

Hello,
It seems the 780 and 750 share a part number. How do you tell them apart???

Didn't have this problem in the 70s.....just walked into the speed shop and bought a 780. Never heard of a Holley 750 then.....

Thank you kindly in advance...

The newer (3310-2 on up) 750 cfm 3310 carbs use a straight leg booster which is slightly more restrictive than the earlier down leg booster from the early 3310 (3310 "EH" and 3310-1) carbs. Straight booster = 750, down leg booster = 780.

Not the 3310's, they're vacuum secondary. The "conventional" 750 double pumper is a list 4779.

Thank you for clearing that up. One last question, is there a mechanical 780??? I seem to remember one.

Thank you for the reply-

I can't think of any mechanical secondary carbs that were rated at 780 cfm. Not saying one doesn't exist, just that I'm not familiar with it.
