Question: 67 vette refurbish job

[watosh]

I'm new here and starting a thread to help me clean up my 67 vette. It is original except for tires, carpet, and one paint job. I think the carb has been changed. It has "List 3310-2 with 2773 under it on the front of the carb. Also, the fuel line has been modified (I think). I will try to insert a pic.

I'm a slow learner, but here goes another attempt to show pics

I think a 327 Holley for 67 should be stamped with a R3810A or R3814A(A.I.R.)

Thanks for the info. Now I know my carb is not original. Does anyone know a good place to get one? There are some new ones on eBay for $595. I assume it is not important to get one with the correct date on it?

Are. You restoring the car? The judges look for the correct date on the carb. The engine will run fine without a matching date. So what is your goal?my 72 only 454 automatic carb was very hard to find so $600 would be a good fair price. Is yours a common carb??

Good luck

I have no idea if it is common. Since it runs good I think I will take my time and try to find a correct dated carb. I don't have any plans to show the car. Thanks for the info.

There is no one place to find the correct dated carb. I looked for many years and finally found one. You can try Chicago Corvette. Do your research and keep an eye out. Good luck!

If you're going to spend that kind of money for the correct carburetor, you might as well get one that's dated correctly. Try these guys - they're the best Holley restorers/rebuilders in the hobby who might have the one you need (they'll need your car's build date):
