Holley questions

[wbmoore]

Just bought a truck with a big block (PO said 366, glovebox says 427...does not matter). It has a Holley ??? that would not start if left for a day. Sort of fixed that with an electric pump.

The new questions are: can the fuel bowls (circled in blue) be removed with the carburetor still on the engine ? Can they be removed without losing all the magical innards ? And most importantly, can they be reinstalled just as easily ?

The carburetor is leaking, front and rear, from the bottom of the bowls. I‘ve tightened the four screws which hold each bowl on and the leaks did get better. I can see the screws for the plates on the bottom but it is impossible to tighten them. This appears to be where the leaks are.

Also, can anyone ID the model of this carb so I can look for parts ?

I’m trying to get this engine working reliably and safely now. I’ll take more time to fix it properly after it’s been raining for a month.

Thanks.
