Title: 1968 RS conv. carb
Post by: nautique_steve on December 04, 2010, 07:24:17 PM

When I purchased my 1968 RS 327 convertible it came with a Edelbrock 4 barrel. But, along with it in a box was a Holley 4 barrel.
I know the chart shows a Rochester QuadraJet. But, since mine was built in June 1968, does note "6" apply? When referred to the 1969 chart there are no 327-275h.p. 4 barrels listed. My question is : Is there any way this engine could have come equipped with the Holley Carb ?
 Thanks

 The note states the part number was changed not the carburetor model.

Nope. The only 68's that used a Holley 4-barrel were the Z/28 and the L-78 (396/375hp); all other 4-barrel engines used the Q-Jet.
