WOW, Last post on Holley Carb information was by me was July 06, 2020.

Time to add a few pieces of information/history. Specifically on a very special Holley Carb designed by Holley Engineering for the 1966 Le Mans 427 single 4 BBL GT-40 Engine. This carb was the very first Center Squirter
Carb and the first carb with the unique "Nose Fuel Bowls" and with full mechanical secondary activation vs Vacuum secondary activation. Other carbs might have one or more of the above but not all of them.

I will also post some pictures of the unique parts of the carburetor.

So Picture #1 is a throttle linkage side of the carb with the "Nose" Bowls.

Picture #2 is another carb/ engine picture showing the right side of the engine and the special headers for the engine.

Picture #3 is the top view of the carb in the Ram Air Enclosure. You can see it is a Center Squirter Carb and has almost immediate secondary opening on the 780 cfm carb. A very Rare Carb used by Ken Miles who wanted full mechanical control of the throttle operation. Holley later updated the carb to a 850 cfm center squirter model.

Picture #4 is a close up view of the carb. These carbs were later used as Tunnel Ram carbs.

Last picture for today, here you can see the Holley "center squirter" carb on the 427 engine in Ken Miles Ford GT-40
race car. (car #1)
