Something just for the old-school tunnelram crowd. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Two (2) pairs of Holley 660 center squirter carburetors, fully restored and ready to run.

One pair is date-matched 085, or the 5th week of August 1970, and the other pair is dated 942, or the 2nd week of April 1969, and 974, or the 4th week of July 1969. PERFECT dates for your `69 or `70 day 2 quarter mile pounder.

You don't see these carbs pop up very often with original dates stll intact since most of these carbs had their air horns lopped off before they were ever even bolted down on an engine.

I took the liberty of making one minor, but significant modification to these carbs that Holley has mysteriously ignored since day one...I leaned out the idle circuits on them so they won't foul sparkplugs at an idle like an out-of-the-box 660 invariably does. Anybody who's ran these carbs before likely knows about the old "parts tag wire in the idle feed restrictors" trick to clean them up at an idle...mine are done correctly by installing smaller idle feed restrictors.

JEGS gets $542.00 each (http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_749170_-1_10271) for these carbs today. Pick either pair of mine for $600.00 for the pair. That's almost 1/2 off of current retail, and still at least $150.00 cheaper than you'll pay for the rebuilt 660's you see pop up on eBay now and then (and I haven't seen any of those yet with these older dates on them)

Prices do not include shipping.

Do either of you have a preference in regards to which dates you're interested in?

I would like the Aug 70 dated pair though it is not critical.

Stefano, let me know if (both) sets are a "must have" for you as I am only intersted in one pair for a Day II project but it is not life or death.

Not a must have, just thought that it was a good deal and do have a use for them. I also appreciate Eric's work!
