That translates to the low performance bowls
On the 390 cfm
this 390 has the performance bowls
I'll post pics of metering block numbers later
Never seen one with performance bowls ??

6299 is a aftermarket carb from what I can see. Hey wait a minute. Your carb. Why am I looking it up? :mob::lol:
 
I looked it up, I did not see any with the perf bowls. I was asking if anyone was familiar with this setup
 
Looks like off a truck with gov missing big blocks ford chevy and dodge used them
 
Sure Holley made them with the dual line float bowls. They still do. They used to make them like yours with the choke tower and all but they discontinued it. You can still buy them from Summit, albeit with no choke tower.

Now, whether yours is "original" or not is another thing altogether. You should be able to get the numbers off the float bowls and tell.
 
It might be good for parts at best. Pretty much s junker.
 
That carb at summit is a double pumper
I agree with teringer post 7
I know that. duh They used to make one almost identical to what you show. That's the one they discontinued.
 
Vacuum port on the secondary lid tells me it's been modded for a 2x4 setup somewhere along the line. Bowls may have been changed then too?
 
What's the number after list? From memory those float bowl screws indicate its an early list. If its got the original metering blocks i would get it restored and use it in a heart beat.
