L78 Holley Rebuild...

**WILMASBOYL78** · #1 03-21-2008, 03:35 AM

The black survivor is back from the Mini-Nats and I decided to send the 4557 to the doctor (Mr. Vintage)

for a rebuild. I have never touched the carb in 8 years...it is the original dated unit. Still has the original fuel block, lines and bracket. The original owner installed some kind of "old school" bracket to help kick in the secondaries (I guess)...you can see the bracket and pin in the photos. With a little help from Mr. Jackson, it will be good to go for spring driving.....check out the photos.
