Brother in law has this thing, not sure if its worth rebuilding or not.

Looks like one off the standard 440s in the C bodies, you might be better off just getting a new one or a rebuilt one, they have that carb at summit as a rebuild, i think holley supplies there rebuilds, your local parts house like Auto Zone or O'Reilly can get them for around 150.00 to 180.00, they carry Tomco & Holley rebuilds, sometimes it just isn't worth trying to kit them without the proper vatting & replacing the throttle safts/ bushings, just use that as a core.

it is a 4160 , 600 cfm 4 bbl , the front bowl has been leaking as evidenced by the putty , it could be saved But why ?.
what size engine is this going on ?

[John_Kunkel]

Looks like there is evidence of putty on both bowls. This is a common leak area and hard to properly fix because the gallery plugs are sealed by O rings and then crimped into the casting. Removing the crimp to replace the O ring leaves no way to retain the plug.

The front of the airhorn will have a stamped List number that will tell the original application. The main body might be of value to someone who needs a correct carb for restoration purposes.

Thanks, IMO he needs to just bite the bullet and get him a new.
