I have a couple of '69 carbs restored by Eric Jackson and I have considerably more than that tied up in each of them.

It should not have the cast in rear accelerator pump squirted boss. It looks like a later carb to me.

Re: RESTORED HOLLEY 4557 1970 LS6 L78 CARB DEC.1969
Agree.
Your air horn stamping says December 1969,but that secondary squirter boss on the main body says after February 1970 according to Eric,here... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthrea...a_re#Post535632 Suggests someone took a later main body and stamped an earlier date on the outside air horn.

Definitely a later carb. This is not the first I have heard of re-stamps and hokey carburetors coming out of Competition Carbs of LI NY

It appears the baseplate is a later one also. It's too thick between the secondary shaft and where the throttle bracker bolts.

Re: RESTORED HOLLEY 4557 1970 LS6 L78 CARB DEC.1969
The base is actually a service unit for a 1966 carb (3246/3247/3613)--note the accelerator pump lever is the type with the slide-in stud instead of the screw-in stud.
