General Discussion / Re: Holley Carb Issues

You really won't need the phenolic spacer if you go with the thick Holley 108-12 gasket.

Yes, those are the stock thin gaskets which will work just fine if you stack a few on top of each other but I like the singe thick HOLLEY 108-12 gasket.

I was going to suggest it may be your needle and seat since lately all the ones I've purchased are total garbage, but you said it worked on a different engine so that eliminates that. Are you using the standard "thin" base gasket or the aftermarket "thick" gasket? I always recommend the "thick" gasket since it helps with better sealing.
Also, what's your fuel pressure? Do you have a regulator? If not, you might need one since you really only need 6PSI at the most for a Holley.

Sorry, I posted wrong above so I've fixed it. The 3932441 heads would be correct for the LM1 engine, not the L48.
Although we have mostly 3947041 heads on the L48 engines in the database, there are a few instances where L48's have the 3927186 heads, which were mostly used on the Z28 engine. We don't have any L48 engines in the database with 3932441 heads.

What's the VIN of the car? Also, post a picture of the trim tag, the front engine pad and the casting numbers of the heads.
3932441 is probably what you're seeing and those would be correct for LM1 engines.

Oh man. Mother nature has not been kind to that car! That's going to take a lot of time and money to repair. Other than the roof, how does the rest of the car look?

How many 68 L89's are there in the DB??
Only 15. Out of the 272 built that year, that's only 6 percent.

Yes, an original L89 with a Muncie and yes, it's almost impossible to determine ANY 68 without docs.

Think I'm droolin', Ed, but don't stop there! lol OE drivetrain ?, colors ?, photo's ?, etc...
Because of the CRG rules I can't get very specific or show the trim tag, but the original color is (and still is) Matador Red and the interior shows 725 (red deluxe) on the trim tag, although apparently that's a mistake because it's clearly black!!
Yes, a few things have been replaced over the years but overall it's fairly original.
Here's a picture of the car, but I think this is about as much as I can divulge.

What else do you know about that particular car, Ed ?
It's a coupe with deluxe interior, Rally Sport, gauges, power steering, power disk brakes and tilt column. Nice car in very good shape.

Originality / Re: Kick panel stereo speakers
« on: May 29, 2023, 11:43:00 PM »
Here you go (see below).
Sorry that it's a bit mangled from the parking brake rubbing against it for the last several years, but it is what it is. Also note that the reproduction grilles are incorrect because they're the same dimensions all around. In reality (and you can see this by looking at the drawing in the AIM and the part numbers for the screws and the spacers), the grille and speaker actually faces slightly toward the occupants so the grille stands out more in the front of the car than the rear.
The speaker shown below is an NOS 7303331 that was on ebay a while ago.
