Title: Aftermarket carb on 69 Z
Post by: rua69z on July 21, 2010, 03:00:51 AM: I am looking for any information on a replacement carb for my 69 Z it is all stock and I am having trouble with the original Holley carb.
Does anyone know of a Edelbrock replacement I would like to run it as close as possible to the stock Holley.
I have had my original rebuilt and am having trouble with the float bowls so I will pull it off and send it to Jerry this winter but it has been 8 years since I have started this car and I want to get it running this year.

thanks

Both float bowls where the gas line plugs into it have gas that I cannot get to stop dripping so I believe I have a problem with them. It is also pouring out of the Y block but I am sure this is probably just a bad block and can get a new one.

I have posted on here before looking for replacement bowls but was unable to find a source I tried to contact Jerry but did not get a reply from him. Again any help would be appreciated

Can get the most out of them in performance and driveability, and we just set the NHRA natiional record in D/Stock, with our 1967 Z28.............10.45 @ 126.21. Read our customer feedback.
