Of course reading this you can see how I feel about holleys, none better when you want all out performance but far from the best for overall driveability. Once running correctly those little autolites can't be beat.

The Holly 847 is the stock carb for my 226... the later Holly 1904 was used for the falcons, etc...

What is the Autolite carburetor model no.?

The Autolite model 1100 one barrel carb was used on 200 and 240 sixes in the mid 60's.

The front carb only. It seems to work good. Good acceleration, runs and idles smooth. Decent economy. I have been told by the experts that it should not work, but I didn't know any better so I guess it did.
