I have been trying to locate a rebuild kit for an *odd*
looking Holley 4v. and a replacement cost.
On the base is the number R-1074-2AS. The only other numbers
are the patent #'s and an Alcoa casting #. All parts stores I
called cannot locate the number. A few places I brought it
into never saw anything like it. I'm trying to get a replacement
value to determine what to ask for it if it goes with some other
stuff into Hemmings.
It was new 25 years ago and sat on a shelf in my fathers garage,
the squirels ate the box it was in. I think it was meant for
a 53 Ford 2dr Victoria w/239 Flathead my brother owned -(sold
about 18 yrs ago).
If you never saw an Autolite in-line 4, you'd probably have the
same comments - without knowing what *those* babies are worth...
Any ideas or places I might call?
Description:
4.5" square base
1.25" bores
7.5" tall
Vaccuum secondaries
I wonder what the air cleaner might have looked like?
I have the thing at my feet today (9/17) and can describe it better
over the phone or throw it on the copier and fax it someplace.

Sounds more like a carb from a mid fifties Y-block than something from a flathead, since they only had 2 bbl carbs. Try looking at 272 / 292 / 312 applications for '55 or '56. | |||||

Call Holley. Some of their carbs are considered OEM replacement carbs, and kits won't be readily available, and/or the carb won't be listed. I have a funky one on my Mustang that no one could identify. They have a non-toll-free technical hotline (that is frequently busy). The people I talked to were quite knowledgable. I don't have the number handy. | |||||

I found the carb in my Holley data book. It's for a 1955 Ford & Merc 292. Ford P/N ECK 9510V Tag on carb ECK-V Holley model 4000 PEP kit p/n 3-105 Master kit p/n 85R-412S The kit part numbers are Holley kits. They should be able to cross them at any decent parts place. The PEP kit is a basic kit. The master kit has more parts. Enjoy | |||||
