    Okay, maybe you wonderful beautiful folks can help me on something else? :bowdown:
    (Now that I'm done sucking up...) I can't seem to figure out what kind of carb I have!! :rolleyes: I've finally got the money for a rebuild kit (yeah. Sad, isn't it?) but for the life of me I can't figure out or find on any Holley website what the code is for this! I've got the list number (8208), plus a couple miscellaneous numbers but none of them that I plug in will give me any carburetor specs! I need the (geez I'm blanking YET AGAIN :slap: ) item number before I can figure out what kit to buy, or even if they still make a kit for it. Googling "Holley 8208 carburetor" and various sundry silly other things just isn't getting me anywhere. Erm, help? :cry:

    try...Holley.com.....then click on instructions and type in your list number. I have found some very useful info for my carb. If I was closer,I could give you a lesson in rebuiling your carb

    That's just it, whenever I type in the list number that's on the carb it gives me info on a water pump pulley spacer kit. I'm apparently either very confused, or, er, very confused? :huh: :cry:

    I'm calling Holley's tech line tomorrow so hopefully they can give me a part number, but it's kind of disheartening.
