I see in the new Dearborn catalog that they are listing the usual Blue Thunder 3x2 manifolds and also a trio of Holley 2 bbl carbs. Does anyone know what the Holley numbers are on these new carbs? I'm not interested in the old numbers for the originals! I already know those carbs. Is Holley selling these new carbs on the open market?

Come on guys, someone must know the numbers. I don't want to pay $975 for some carbs I could buy if I knew more about what is being used for these conversions. I want to save money for other projects![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_ghey.gif[/img]

You can use Autolite carbs as well as Holleys. The 2bbls from the mid to late '60s are supposed to work pretty decent for a 3X2 set-up. I'm sure a modern dual plane 4bbl will out run the 3x2's but it doesn't have the same visual impact.Who sells the 3x2 manifold for a low price?

The manifolds go for $395 just about everywhere. I have used the Autolites in a past project. They have one drawback, the idle bleed screws are impossible to get to. Everyone is missing my point. Dearborn and some guy on the Ebay are selling NEW Holleys for this setup. Both want $975. I DON'T want to pay $975........I want to know their source so I CAN BUY THEM CHEAPER! I WANT HOLLEY NUMBERS FROM THESE NEW CARBS! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bicker.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bicker.gif[/img]

their source is Holley. Holley is reproducing these carbs. The numbers are: Front C4AF-9510-V List – 2882
Center C4AF-9510-U List – 2881
Rear C4AF-9510-V List – 2882
Not sure if they are being made in limited quantities or sold through certain dealers... try giving Holley a call.
