I called Holly Tech. line today and they don't have a modern day carb to replace the 4000 Teapot, his suggestion was to get a 57 Intake manifold, they do have a direct fit for the 57.
Anybody have any input on this, I really would like to replace the Teapot, Pony wants $600.00 for a 4000 with $100.00 core charge. What I've read about the Teapots is I don't want to put that kind of money into it and be subjectable to the same problems down the road.
My curent Teapot is a 4BCarb and according to the manifold numbers is mounted onto a 2BCarb manifold. Maybe an adapter plate there, I haven't removed it yet but the Holly guy said there may be an adapter plate but he couldn't reccomend one,
Is there a adapter plate available or is the 57 mianifold the way to go?
Claim to fame is the car was used as an extra in the movie Diner with Micky Rourke, Steve Gootenburg, Paul Riser and Kevin Bacon.
